We will replace the e-learning program (Cultural Competency Program for Disaster Preparedness and Crisis Response) with an all-new program, Cultural Competency Program for Disaster and Emergency Management, on July 23, 2024. You will not be able to access the current e-learning program after July 22, 2024, so please complete any courses you wish to before that. After that date, the new e-learning program (Cultural Competency Program for Disaster and Emergency Management) will be available to you with the opportunity to earn free continuing education credits. In addition, the current small group/facilitator option will be discontinued and will not be replaced.

In Your Words
Hear from fellow CLAS champions about why culturally and linguistically appropriate services (CLAS) matter.
We’d also like to hear from you!
“Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health care is the most shocking and inhumane.”
"Ensuring access to quality, affordable health care help create the opportunity for all citizens to achieve the American dream. Despite advances in medicine and technology, disparities remain in our health care system for too many Americans, including racial and ethnic minorities.”
"To eliminate disparities, we must know enough (research); do enough (deliver the outcomes) care enough (commitment) and persevere enough (do not get discouraged)."
“It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver.”
“One of the most sublime experiences we can ever have is to wake up feeling healthy after we have been sick.”
