Michigan: Implicit (Unconscious) Bias—Course Summary

In Michigan, training on implicit bias is required as a condition for initial licensure or registration as well as renewal for healthcare professions. The training is in addition to any continuing education training required for each profession. Unlike the human trafficking training requirement, this is not a one-time training. Implicit bias training is required every time you renew your license. This rule took effect on June 1, 2022 and is described in the document, FAQs for Implicit Bias Training (Michigan.gov, September 24, 2021).
