This course is for Sharp Emergency Department employees who have taken an AVADE or CPI class in the past.

This hybrid class is designed to provide training to help you prevent violence in the workplace via a program known as AVADE (awareness, vigilance, avoidance, defense, escape/environment). Students will receive training in self-defense and defensive control tactics.

After you enroll, you will receive an email notification the next business day from the Sharp Learning Center to start your online learning. This email will come from hs-alerts@healthstream.com. If you cannot find this email and are not using a Sharp HealthCare email account, please check your junk and trash folders before contacting us.

You must finish the AVADE Universal Precautions for Workplace Violence Prevention modules in the Sharp Learning Center and present your completion certificate at the in-person portion of this class.

Registration is required. Walk-ins will not be accepted. If you do not receive an email confirming your enrollment, please call 1-800-82-SHARP (1-800-827-4277), Monday through Friday, from 7 am to 7 pm.
