Understanding Michigan's Implicit Bias Training Requirement

Michigan's implicit bias training requirement applies to health professionals licensed under the Michigan Public Health Code (Act 368 of 1978), Article 15. Michigan Administrative Rule R 338.7004 sets the training standards for initial licensure and renewal.

What Michigan Administrative Rule R 338.7004 Requires

Renewal Requirement

For license renewal, each licensee must complete a minimum of 1 hour of implicit bias training per year of the license or registration cycle. This 1-hour course satisfies a single required hour and counts toward total CE hours.

Initial Licensure Requirement

An individual seeking initial licensure or registration must complete a minimum of 2 hours of implicit bias training within the 5 years immediately preceding issuance of the license or registration. New applicants should choose the 2-hour course.

Required Training Content

Training must include information on implicit bias, diversity, equity, and inclusion, including how implicit bias affects perceptions and treatment decisions, strategies for reducing negative effects, and approaches to promoting equity in healthcare delivery.

Approved Provider Standards

Training may be obtained from a nationally recognized or state-recognized health-related organization, an educational program approved by a Michigan licensing board, or a program sponsored by a hospital, medical society, or professional association. Renew Now CE qualifies as an ANCC-accredited provider approved by the Michigan Boards of Nursing and Pharmacy.
