Implicit Bias Training for Healthcare Providers in Michigan

Nationally Accredited Implicit Bias Trainings that satisfy Michigan LARA Requirements

Asynchronous webinars added as a modality of training for implicit bias.

The Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA) released the final draft of the Public Health Code in 2023 to allow asynchronous teleconference or webinars as part of training for implicit bias standards.

The rule, R338.7001, was revised March 23, 2023 to allow for more ways for licensees to take the training.

Acceptable modalities of training include any of the following:

A teleconference or webinar that allows live synchronous interaction that provides for the opportunity for participants to interact with the instructor and other participants.
A live presentation that provides for the opportunity for participants to interact with the instructor and other participants.
An asynchronous teleconference or webinar. (new)

How many hours of implicit bias training are required in Michigan?

New applicants for licensure or registration are required to have completed 2 hours of implicit bias training within the 5 years immediately preceding issuance of the license or registration.

Renewing licensees and registrants are required to complete 1 hour of implicit bias training for each year of their license or registration cycle. However, for initial renewal after June 1, 2021, licensees will only need to have 1 hour for each year since the rule’s promulgation date of June 1, 2021. For example, if you are scheduled to renew your license in August of 2022, you would only be required to have 1 hour of training, even if the length of your license was 3 years.

Subsequent renewals will require 1 hour of implicit bias training for each year of the license or registration cycle.
