DOSE RIGHT. EVERY TIME.
Build your medication math skills
One slipped decimal point can change a dose tenfold. This self-paced online course teaches the calculation method safe clinicians use every shift — unit conversions, oral and injectable doses, weight-based pediatric dosing, IV rates, and reconstitution — built around interactive practice questions that explain not just the right answer, but exactly why each wrong answer tempts.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN
Med math you can put to work
By the end of the course, you will be able to:
Unit Conversions
Convert confidently between mg, mcg, g, kg, L, mL — and pounds to kilograms
Orders & Labels
Read any medication order and drug label and pull out the numbers that matter
Dose Calculations
Calculate oral, liquid, and injectable doses using D÷H×Q and dimensional analysis
Weight-Based Dosing
Work weight-based and pediatric doses, including mg/kg/day divided dosing and safe-dose ranges
IV Rates
Program IV pump rates, infusion times, and gravity drip rates (gtt/min)
Reconstitution
Calculate doses from reconstituted medications using the final concentration
High-Alert Medications
Apply the special rules for high-alert medications: insulin, heparin, and infusion titration
Safe Notation
Write doses with safe notation and spot the errors behind dangerous abbreviations
Check Your Work
Use estimation and the “does this make sense?” check to catch calculation errors before they reach a patient
LEARN IT. PRACTICE IT.
Ten progressive levels.
One consistent method.
Instead of walls of formulas, the course moves through ten progressive “levels,” each built on short lessons, fully worked examples, and try-it-yourself questions with instant answer reveals.
This course rebuilds med math from the ground up using one consistent method: Read it. Match it. Solve it. Check it.
UNDERSTAND EVERY ANSWER
Learn to catch your own errors
Every practice question explains why the correct answer works and names the trap behind each wrong option — the flipped setup, the skipped pound-to-kilogram conversion, the misplaced decimal — so students learn to catch their own errors before an exam or a patient ever sees them.
Read it.

PUT YOUR SKILLS TO WORK
A competency-style final
The course finishes with a competency-style final: mixed clinical cases with no formula hints, exactly the way real exams (and real shifts) present them.
