Requires physicians and certain hospital employees to complete training on communication with and treatment of persons who are deaf or hard of hearing.

This bill requires physicians to complete one continuing medical education credit on communication and treatment for deaf or hard of hearing patients as part of their biennial registration. It also mandates that emergency department staff at general hospitals complete training developed by a new dedicated unit within New Jersey's Division of Deaf and Hard of Hearing. Hospitals must create specific protocols for employees who interact with deaf or hard of hearing patients during emergency care. The law takes effect 90 days after enactment.
