Get CME, CEU credits through free online training in LGBTQ patient-centered care
All U-M Health System staff who serve our patients are encouraged to complete a free, online LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer) patient-centered care training. Those who complete a course, pass competency checks, and complete an evaluation survey, will be eligible to receive CME or CEU credits.
Your participation will help UMHS remain a leader in providing care to a diverse range of patients and communities. Please complete your credits before Oct. 25 so UMHS can maintain its Healthy Equity Index leadership status, which requires 25 hours of training among our employees each year.
