Training

One of the principal responsibilities of the Hawaii Primary Care Association is ongoing administration of technical assistance, training, and workforce development programs to support the statewide network of Community Health Centers.

HPCA’s activities are defined and classified by appropriateness. Activities related to the Core group are the first, most urgent priorities. Positional topics and programs are provided based on funds availability. Both Core and Positional training/technical assistance activities are listed on our Events calendar, as are General training programs offered by other entities.

Core activities also include outreach worker trainings, health information technology classes, and clinical workgroups focused on health outcomes and disparities.

All training and technical assistance activities are regularly updated on our Calendar and Events page. Please check it for the most current information on our offerings.
