Cultural Competency Training
The Nevada Health Care Association/Nevada Center for Assisted Living (NVHCA/NVCAL) has a state-approved three-hour cultural competency training course. To date, we have trained over 2,000 employees in skilled nursing and assisted living facilities across the state.
Topics covered in this course include:
Race, Ethnicity, and Culture | Implicit Bias | Social Determinants of Health |
Transgender Healthcare | Gender and Racial barriers to Healthcare |
Religion as Culture | Mental and Physical Disabilities |
Strategies to Mitigate Unconscious Bias
Nevada State Curriculum Approval: CCT-2021-010
We held the last of our “initial trainings” on June 23. We will now hold one cultural competency training per month for the rest of the year for all new employees (or those employees that have yet to take the training). Registration for the July 21st training is now closed. Stay tuned for information regarding registration for August 18.

PLEASE NOTE: Several facilities have inquired about using their in-house training for this requirement. Please be thoughtful about trying to get your company’s training approved. It is a very rigorous process and took us over five months to meet the various regulatory requirements specific to Nevada. Because of the lengthy approval process required, we strongly encourage you to use this course to save you time and money.
