Nursing Pathways

Home Study Program

The Home Study Program, in cooperation with the MultiMedia Library, makes it possible for Kaiser Permanente employees to earn continuing education contact hour credits by reviewing and testing on selected previously broadcast Clinical Videoconferencing Network (CVN) programs. After receiving a completed post-test, the Distance Learning Program awards credits for passing scores of 80 percent or higher.

The order form, flyers and syllabus materials are in Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) format. Check the file name extension before downloading the file and be sure you have the associated program installed on your computer in order to open and print the file.

For questions, please contact Distance Learning at (510) 625-5852 or send an e-mail to distance.learning@kp.org .
