Community Health Worker Training Program
The curriculum is designed to train front-line health workers to provide culturally responsive services in Michigan communities. The 166 training hours includes 25 hours for independent self-study. Independent self-study ensures that the participants are given sufficient time to work on homework, quizzes, projects, and other assignments. Independent self-study hours may be completed at the participant’s home, work location, or other location.
As part of the 166 training hours, 40 internship hours are required, consisting of field experiences in local agencies where the focus is for the student to apply and integrate theory into practice. CHWs who are currently employed will complete the internship at their place of work.
Tuition varies by certification training programs and is set by the training organizations, not by MiCHWA
