Free Virtual CME/CEU Training Opportunity on Health Care for People with Intellectual Disabilities

In partnership with the South Carolina Department of Disabilities and Special Needs (DDSN), the South Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (SCDHHS) is passing along a free training opportunity for Healthy Connections Medicaid providers interested in better understanding the special health care needs of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). The training is titled "Curriculum in IDD Healthcare" and is produced by IntellectAbility®. The cost of the training is being covered by DDSN. Participants may earn Continuing Medical Education (CME) or Continuing Education Units (CEU) credits through the self-paced, virtual training.

The Curriculum in IDD Healthcare course is comprised of six on-demand modules including, but not limited to, modules on common behavioral presentations of medical conditions in people with intellectual disabilities, dual diagnosis and effective communication during four-and-a-half hours of instructional time. Providers can learn more about the training course through a flyer available here. Providers who wish to take the course can register here. The training is available until June 30, 2026.

Thank you for your continued support of the South Carolina Healthy Connections Medicaid program.
