Which Healthcare Professions Does Wild Iris Medical Education Serve?

Updated

Wild Iris Medical Education offers continuing education (CEU) courses for nursing and several other healthcare professions, and it also groups state-mandated courses separately so you can find renewal requirements faster. Based on the site's own navigation, the profession categories are nursing, occupational therapy, physical therapy, and EMT/paramedic, plus a dedicated "state-mandated courses" entry. If your license falls outside those groups, the site does not present a matching category on its main page.

Profession categories on the site

The homepage presents these selectable paths:

  • Nursing — the primary focus, with an ANCC-accredited provider status and a 30 ANCC Hours Nursing CEU Package for renewal.
  • Occupational therapy
  • Physical therapy
  • EMT / paramedic
  • State-mandated courses — a cross-profession category rather than a single profession.

The site describes itself as offering "continuing education courses for nursing and other healthcare professions," so the non-nursing categories are presented as part of the same catalog rather than separate platforms.

What the nursing track includes

Nursing is the most detailed category in the available site content:

  • Accreditation: ANCC-accredited provider, described as "accredited and approved nationwide."
  • Bundle option: a 30 ANCC Hours Nursing CEU Package marketed as renewal-ready and discounted versus buying individual courses.
  • Free course: one free nursing CEU course for new nurse customers — "Novel Coronaviruses, including COVID-19," 1 ANCC contact hour.
  • Sample clinical course: "Clinical Care for the Heart Failure Patient," a 5-contact-hour course covering types, causes, signs, symptoms, treatment options, and cardiac rehabilitation, referencing American Heart Association guidelines.
  • Workplace course: "Recognizing Impairment in the Workplace," covering risk factors, prevention, barriers to early identification, reporting issues, and interventions.

State-mandated courses

The site separates state-mandated training from general CEUs, which matters if your renewal depends on a specific state requirement rather than a general hour count. One example given is:

  • Child Abuse Recognition and Reporting in Pennsylvania – Act 31 (2 Hours): a 2-contact-hour course for license renewal for mandated reporters, approved by the PA Department of Human Services, with 24-hour electronic reporting to the Pennsylvania Department of State.

If you need a state-specific requirement, start from the state-mandated category rather than browsing by profession, since the same requirement may apply across multiple licenses.

How to decide whether it fits your license

Your situation What to check
RN, LPN, or other nursing license Nursing category; confirm ANCC hours match your state board requirement
Occupational therapist Occupational therapy category
Physical therapist Physical therapy category
EMT or paramedic EMT/paramedic category
State-specific renewal requirement State-mandated courses, then verify the specific state approval listed on the course

Practical notes before you enroll

  • The site lists a limited-time promotion ($10 off Breast Cancer) and a "Latest Deals and Discounts" section, so pricing changes — check current offers rather than assuming a fixed price.
  • The stated flow is: read course → pass test → pay and get instant certificate. Payment comes after the test, so you can evaluate the material before paying.
  • Certificates are described as instant and online.
  • The site says it has offered CEU courses since 1998, which is a longevity signal but not a substitute for checking your own board's approval list.

If your profession is not nursing, occupational therapy, physical therapy, or EMT/paramedic, the main navigation does not show a category for you — in that case, contact the provider directly before assuming coverage.
