Implicit Bias: Implicit bias is a form of bias that occurs automatically and unintentionally, that nevertheless affects judgments, decisions, and behaviors. https://diversity.nih.gov/sociocultural-factors/implicit-bias

This course offers care coordinators one hour CEH. 

Although implicit bias affects everyone, it's important to know about it so we can move towards equitable professional relationships with the people and families we serve.  

You will take 2 implicit bias tests on the Harvard University Project Implicit website. These tests are completely confidential. SDS does not receive any results of your tests or any information from the testing website. They each take about 10-15 minutes to complete. Then you will answer 2 self-reflective questions in the Academy course. You are NOT required to report the results of your bias tests.    

Harvard's Project Implicit tests are free, confidential, publicly available, do not gather personal data, and are widely used in training for the social services, education, law enforcement, and health care science fields.   

Care Coordinators seeking Continuing Education Hours, finishing this course will give you a certificate worth one hour of Care Coordination CEH. 

This is a Project ECHO video of a presentation for individuals and families about TEFRA. Briefly, TEFRA is Medicaid eligibility for children who experience disability and meet level of care such as that provided in a facility. The child can qualify for Medicaid, outside the income limits of the family/parents/guardian.  

This video walks families through the details of eligibility and application for TEFRA. Presented by Project ECHO 12/22/22.

TEFRA requires a care coordinator. This video DOES NOT equal formal training in being a TEFRA care coordinator.

Colorectal cancer screening is critically important for early detection, prevention, and reduced mortality. Yet adults with intellectual Developmental Disabilities (IDD), especially people living in rural Alaska communities, experience many barriers to accessing colorectal cancer and other screenings. These barriers include but are not limited to health literacy, communication challenges, physical accessibility, provider bias, support systems and transportation/logistics. This session brings Alaska healthcare professionals and Home and Community-based Waiver care coordinators together to share thoughts and ideas about how to improve access to colorectal cancer screenings for Alaskans with IDD. Join community health care professionals and program administrators from ANTHC, APCA, and SDS Training staff for a facilitated discussion.

Participants will earn 2 hours Care Coordinator CEH
