(ADMH) MAC Worker Competency Exam

(ADMH) MAC Worker Competency Exam is proudly presented to you by CEQ Alabama Department of Mental Health. Thank you. We hope that you enjoy your course.

MAC Worker Position

The law (Code of Alabama § 34-21-20 (1975)) states that individuals who perform nursing care for compensation must be licensed. The Nurse Delegation Program is an amendment to this law.

The Alabama Board of Nursing created a set of standards to allow the Department of Mental Health to train Medication Assistance Supervising (MAS) nurses to delegate to trained direct care workers called Medication Assistance Certified (MAC) Workers.

The current requirements for MAC Workers:

GED/High School Diploma required.

The ADMH has created a MAC Worker Competency Exam for the purpose of substituting for GED/High School Diploma to assist providers with recruitment.
