Chemotherapy checking is a complex task and requires a high level of alertness and attention to detail. Learning tools are required to teach the fundamental principles of chemotherapy checking. In conjunction with a graphic design team and with input from Human Factors specialists, an online chemotherapy checking training module was created. A variety of learning methods were incorporated including pre-reading, hands on training, case scenarios, and exam questions. The necessary skills to safely complete chemotherapy checking can be enhanced by the use of this training module.
