Instrument Training
There are several avenues for individuals to be trained in the IRF. The most direct method is to schedule time with the appropriate staff member for an individual training. Please remember that all staff members have a number of responsibilities and handle requests in the order they were submitted. Expect wait times to average one week. The second method for in-depth training is to register for one of the IRF’s courses.
