Welcome to the Dosage Calculations 1 website. Here you will be able to access worksheets and PowerPoint tutorials that will ultimately help you master the important skill of converting medical units. The key to mastery is pretty simple:

1) Study the introductory material for each section.

2) Go through each PowerPoint tutorial several times for each section, (and take notes as you go).

3) Work every problem on the worksheet that corresponds to the section you are studying.

4) Take the pretest on this website after you've studied a section.

5) Take the actual test for a particular section by going to one of the academic achievement centers.
Important: You will need a calculator for this course. Try to use a calculator that has a fraction key. You will need it when working some of the problems.
