Clarifying Facility Compliance: AB 2319 specifies facilities must provide or accept training certificates from other healthcare facilities. If your facility does not offer implicit bias training directly or explicitly accept third-party CE providers, Renew Now CE’s accredited status provides a strong basis for acceptance. To ensure seamless compliance, we recommend verifying acceptance of third-party CE provider certificates directly with your facility’s compliance office.
