HRSA-Supported PCMH Training - Region 9
Thanks to support from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) is pleased to provide this virtual training around Patient-Centered Medical Home Recognition for HRSA region 9. This virtual training is hosted by California Primary Care Association (CPCA) and will consist of two courses:
- NCQA’s Introduction to PCMH Program: Foundational Concepts of the Medical Home
- NCQA’s Advanced PCMH Program: Mastering the Medical Home Transformation
Training will be provided through a series of on-demand (recorded) lectures interspersed with live webinars for Q&A, polling, content review, and engagement with the training faculty. The required on-demand modules should be reviewed prior to each scheduled webinar session. Learners must complete all on-demand and webinar sessions to complete each course (webinar recordings will be available for those who cannot attend a live session).
NCQA will provide the same continuing medical education credit and PCMH Certified Content Expert (CCE) maintenance of certification credit normally provided when this training is delivered as in-person seminars. Additionally, learners who complete both sessions will become eligible to sit for the CCE exam.
This training will include both on-demand (recorded) content and live webinars.
