Nevada Cultural competency training is nationally recognized with award
On October 24, 2022 High Sierra AHEC and NVPCA received the Health Care Leadership Council’s Redefining American Healthcare Award! The Healthcare Leadership Council (HLC) is a coalition of chief executives from all disciplines within American healthcare. Members of HLC advocate for measures to increase the quality and efficiency of healthcare through a patient-centered approach. Examples of programs include those addressing broadband access, behavioral health, social determinants of health, vaccine readiness, reducing disparities in care delivery, and increasing workforce and clinical trial diversity. These innovative approaches provide an avenue to scale and replicate in other communities, improving upon best practices nationwide. The award ceremony was an inspiring event that
included passionate speakers, testimonials, and a Congressional Certificate of
Recognition from Nevada State Senator, Jacky Rosen.
​What is
Cultural Competency Training?
-
Cultural competency training offers an opportunity to increase one's cultural humility, awareness, and sensitivity.
​
-
Every person is an expert in their lived experience. By learning how to respect individuals from all backgrounds and their lived experiences, providers can provide equitable quality care and effectively address the needs of any patient they may see. Our cultural competency training will cover identity and self-expression, unconscious bias, racial discrimination, gender disparities, and more.

The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) NRS 449.103 has established landmark standards for anti-discrimination in healthcare. In accordance with these regulations, the High Sierra Area Health Education Center (AHEC) and Nevada Primary Care Association (NVPCA) have worked diligently to create comprehensive training for Nevada Healthcare Providers. This course is designed to satisfy the requirements set forth by NRS statute 449.103 and currently meets NRS 630 requirements 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 the improvement of cultural humility, inclusivity, and quality care delivery statewide. The course is provided in various online modalities and taught by experienced and passionate NVPCA and High Sierra AHEC staff who have met DHHS requirements. Apart from meeting regulation requirements, our training aims to leave a lasting impression on providers, strengthening equitable and accessible care delivery for years to come.
"People of different religions and cultures live side by side in almost every part of the world, and most of us have overlapping identities which unite us with very different groups. We can love what we are, without hating what – and who – we are not. We can thrive in our own tradition, even as we learn from others, and come to respect their teachings."
