Training Suggestions on Drug Affected Infants
I am hoping to foster drug affected infants in the near future and am looking for some really good and in depth training on caring for drug affected babies.

I am a healthcare professional, so detailed/in depth/scientific/wordy etc training would be wonderful if I could find it.

Anyone have suggestions on online training?

Can't say as it is terribly wordy...but, the website for PICC(Perinatal Interim Care Center, in Washington State) still offers good info...and lots of it...they also have DVD's you can purchase but they are not cheap...good info, though...even the basic info on the site is very helpful in handling a drug exposed infant...also, they have a phone number listed that is a 24 hour helpline...they welcome calls from foster parents anytime of day or night to ask questions and get help! =D

We're in WA, and I went through training at the PICC. The staff there is fantastic. You might want to call and find out if there are any training resources they would recommend...in addition to their DVDs of course.
