Health: licensing; implicit bias training requirement for licensing; modify. Amends 1978 PA 368 (MCL 333.1101 - 333.25211) by adding sec. 16207.
This bill requires healthcare professionals in Michigan to complete implicit bias training before renewing their licenses or registrations. The training must cover topics such as trauma-informed care and reducing stigma related to disabilities and behavioral health conditions. It defines implicit bias as unconscious attitudes that can lead to unequal treatment based on various personal characteristics. The law applies to most licensed individuals but excludes those regulated under a specific part of the public health code.
