Ohio DODD Medication Administration Certification (Category 1 / "Med Pass")
This is a state-specific certification in Ohio that authorizes unlicensed Direct Support Professionals (DSPs) to administer prescribed medications and perform health-related activities for individuals with developmental disabilities under nurse delegation . The initial Category 1 training requires 14 hours, covering oral, topical, eye, ear, nasal, inhaled, and other routes of administration, as well as the "Six Rights," documentation, medication storage and disposal, and vital signs monitoring . Candidates must be at least 18 years old, hold a high school diploma or GED, pass a background check, and achieve 80% or higher on a written exam and skills assessment to obtain certification . Certification is valid for one year and requires a 2-hour refresher course and continuing education for renewal, with a 60-day grace period after expiration . It should be noted that the "DoDD" study questions circulating on platforms such as Stuvia and Docsity are third-party compilation materials, not official DODD publications, and their accuracy cannot be guaranteed .
