Effective January 1, 2026, the Cultural Competency and Sensitivity Training is included in the Excellent Health Outcomes for All (EHOA) Training. To avoid duplication, Health Plan is removing the Cultural Competency and Sensitivity Training module from its website and instead requires completion of the EHOA Training. The EHOA Training includes content on cultural competency and humility, sensitivity, diversity, and health equity.
As a reminder, please complete the required trainings below, as applicable, and submit attestations by June 30, 2026.
