Internal Staff Trainings

In addition to the trainings offered by HRC through our Learning Partners, we will consider giving HEI training credit to healthcare facilities for courses on LGBTQ+ cultural competency that are offered at their facility for their staff either in a group setting or through their facility Learning Management System (LMS).

Trainings sponsored by the healthcare facility and/or health system on LGBTQ+ topics

A healthcare facility may receive on-going training credit for course(s) that they sponsor on LGBTQ+ culturally competent care and/or specific LGBTQ+ health topics. In order for a facility to receive credit for their own training course on LGBTQ+ patient-centered care they must get the training course pre-approved by HEI staff. Facilities may either develop their own courses or bring in an outside trainer that is an expert in LGBTQ+ health issues. These courses may be offered in-person or online through a Learning Management System.

Pre-Approval Requirements

To obtain pre-approval, the facility must submit information about the training course, which includes:

  • Uploading a copy of the slides used in the presentation;
  • Uploading the biosketch or curriculum vitae of the presenter(s).

Course materials will be assessed based on the guidelines outlined below. Presenters will be assessed for relevant experience and expertise.
