Nevada Cultural Competency Training

The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) NRS 449 has established landmark standards for anti-discrimination in healthcare. In accordance with these regulations, High Sierra Area Health Education Center (AHEC) and Nevada Primary Care Association (NVPCA) have created a comprehensive training for Nevada Healthcare Providers.

This course is designed to satisfy the requirements set forth by NRS 449 for medical facilities, facilities for the dependent, and other facilities through content inclusive of varied pertinent topics. The Nevada Cultural Competency Training is approved for annual cultural competency training certification and recertification for healthcare facilities detailed therein and is focused on improvement of cultural awareness, inclusivity, and quality care delivery statewide.

The course is taught over 9 hours by experienced, passionate, NVPCA and High Sierra AHEC staff that have met DHHS requirements. The training is designed to not only meet the regulation requirements but leave a lasting impression on providers; strengthening equitable and accessible care delivery for years to come.

​This live, online training is offered as a 3-day series with 3 hours each day or one 9-hour session. Advance registration required.
