Why Do I Need Training?

Texas law requires that every child in DFPS custody has a trained medical consenter. DFPS requires this medical consent training initially as a pre-service requirement and annually thereafter. This training will help you:

  • Make informed decisions about health care in the best interest of children.
  • Make sure children and youth get proper and timely health care.

This training will explain the responsibilities of a medical consenter.
