Reminder: The North Dakota Health Equity Training Initiative modules are still available. There are nine modules on health equity-related topics; the training is offered at no charge. Each training is available for continuing education contact hours (CEU) approved by the North Dakota Board of Nursing and Continuing Medical Education (CME) credits
These trainings are available on ND Train. You will need to create an account if you do not already have one. The course ID is 6690.
We encourage you to take advantage of this valuable resource. It is an excellent way to enhance your knowledge of health equity and gain valuable insight into working with underserved populations.
In this 9-module series, health equity concepts are covered and applied in progressively more in-depth contexts, ending with a final module on directly applying the content to the workplace. Some of the topics covered are health equity concepts, implicit bias, and equitable communication strategies. The trainings will provide foundational knowledge of factors driving health disparities, including social determinants of health.
North Dakota Health and Human Services (NDHHS) offers a new opportunity to showcase your dedication to health equity. Individuals and entities can now be recognized for completing the Health Equity Training Initiative. Individuals and organizations can earn bronze, silver, or gold badges for different levels of completion of health equity training modules.
The Great Plains Quality Innovation Network team has completed these modules and received a Health Equity Training Initiative Leader GOLD badge to recognize this achievement. A GOLD badge indicates 80 percent (or more) of our team completed the training in its entirety. We believe the trainings were a wonderful tool in helping our team better understand the need for ensuring high-quality, equitable healthcare to all individuals, regardless of their background or circumstances and methods for doing so.
This training is appropriate for individuals working in a wide range of occupations, including but not limited to healthcare, allied health professionals and others who have an impact on people’s health (e.g., those in fields related to economic stability, education access and quality, neighborhoods and built environments and those that impact social factors and community development). While this training is based on North Dakota needs, it is appropriate for all individuals. Learn more.
