New Community Health Worker Training!
BCCHP is part of a new Community Health Worker (CHW) training system that Washington state is implementing in preparation for the impact of Health Care Reform. CHWs encompass a variety of titles and roles, but primarily are individuals who play a vital part in assisting people to overcoming barriers that affect their ability to access medical care and obtain health information. They may work in a medical clinic or community setting, be paid employees or volunteers. This training provides core competencies useful to all CHW roles.
The training is a FREE 8-week certificate course which consists of two in-person, full-day sessions (at the beginning and end) and 6 weeks of web-based training (1-2 hours/week) in between. After completion, participants have the choice to obtain additional web-based training in various health specific topics allowing them to tailor it to their individual needs.
