From PPS to risk — get paid for outcomes, not just visits
6 interactive modules: PPS vs. value, California's FQHC APM and CalAIM, ECM & Community Supports operations, the federal model landscape (MSSP, ACO REACH→LEAD, ACO PC Flex, APCM), building your VBC infrastructure, and assessing your readiness to take on risk. Primary-sourced throughout.
Everything you need to run a high-performing FQHC site
8 modules covering revenue, team-based care, scheduling optimization, BH integration, ECM operations, workforce retention, and financial modeling — with live simulator exercises.
Your annual Cal/OSHA bloodborne pathogens training
3 modules: bloodborne pathogens & your Exposure Control Plan, sharps safety + PPE + the free hepatitis B vaccine, and post-exposure steps + SB 553 workplace violence prevention. Satisfies the annual §5193 training requirement.
Your annual FWA & compliance-program training
3 modules: fraud vs. waste vs. abuse + the False Claims Act, the Anti-Kickback Statute + Stark Law + exclusion screening, and the 7 elements of an effective compliance program + how to report concerns (you're protected).
What every new hire needs to know on day one
3 modules covering the foundations: what makes an FQHC different from any other clinic (Section 330 & required services), how the Sliding Fee Discount Program works, and how FQHCs get paid (PPS, UDS, and the revenue cycle). Primary-sourced from HRSA.
CA scope of practice, rooming mastery, and care gap closure
3 modules: CA scope of practice under BPC §2069–2071 (what MAs can and cannot do), the complete 5-element rooming workflow with SBAR communication, and how MA outreach drives FQHC UDS quality scores through care gap closure.
Outreach, navigation, advocacy — the full CHW skill set
3 bilingual modules covering the CHW role in California: scope, CalAIM eligibility, Medi-Cal CHW benefit, motivational interviewing, care navigation, and system-level advocacy. Primary-sourced from DHCS and the CA CHW Certification curriculum.
CLAS Standards, implicit bias, and serving diverse FQHC communities
3 modules grounded in the HHS CLAS Standards and the Tervalon & Murray-García framework: what cultural humility means vs. competency, implicit-bias mitigation in the clinical encounter, and trauma-informed approaches for diverse patient populations including undocumented communities.
Registration, sliding fee, scheduling, and patient flow
3 modules for front-desk and patient-service staff: FQHC registration requirements and insurance verification, applying the Sliding Fee Discount Program correctly (including UDS self-pay tracking), and the scheduling and patient-flow practices that protect PPS revenue.
Drug pricing, eligibility rules, and the HRSA audit trail
3 modules covering the FQHC's most valuable and audited program: the 340B savings mechanism and covered-entity eligibility, patient-definition and duplicate-discount rules, and the HRSA audit requirements (49% adverse-finding rate in FY2025) including the OPAIS registration and policy/procedure documentation.
HRSA's annual scorecard — how to get it right
3 modules on the Uniform Data System, FQHC's federally-required annual report: the UDS table structure and key clinical quality measures (child/adult preventive care, chronic disease control, behavioral health), common data-quality errors that trigger HRSA questions, and how UDS results flow into your Section 330 grant renewal and HRSA OSV.
Where FQHCs and the labor movement come from — and why they share a mission
3 modules on the shared roots of community health and worker dignity: the 1960s farmworker and civil-rights origins of health centers, the eras and milestones that shaped FQHC labor (NLRA, Medicare/Medicaid, Section 330, SB 525, H.R. 1), and the common-interest framework that ties patients, staff, and the organization together.
The unions in FQHC labor and the labor law everyone should understand
3 modules: fair profiles of the unions that represent California FQHC and safety-net workers (SEIU-UHW, NUHW, SEIU locals, CNA/NNU, 1199SEIU), the rules of the game under the NLRA (§7 protected activity, §8 unfair labor practices, the NLRB), and the organizing-to-first-contract lifecycle — even-handed for HR, union reps, and stewards.
Strikes, ballot measures, and NLRB cases — both sides, fairly
3 modules on the defining disputes in California FQHC labor: strikes and work stoppages, the SEIU-UHW ballot measures and policy fights, and real NLRB cases — each presented with both the worker rationale and the management considerations, plus the posture spectrum from adversarial to partnership.
Total comp, the SB 525 wage floor, and interest-based bargaining
3 modules: the anatomy of FQHC total compensation (the components beyond base pay), how to read salary benchmarks and the SB 525 healthcare-wage schedule, and the basics of interest-based bargaining and what a strong contract contains — useful for a steward preparing proposals and an HR lead preparing management's side.
How strong labor relations and the mission reinforce each other
3 modules on the both/and payoff: labor-management partnership models (including the Kaiser LMP), the case that strong labor relations drive retention, quality, and financial sustainability, and a practical playbook of partnership practices both HR and union leaders can put in place — especially through the December 2026 cliff.

15 expert-curated lessons tracing the foundations of community health: primary care effectiveness, chronic disease management, behavioral health integration, and the AI revolution in documentation.
