Long-Term Care Educational Opportunities Now Available

Last updated on

The Texas Department of Health and Human Services and the University of Texas at Austin School of Nursing are pleased to announce a collaborative effort to improve long-term care in Texas. This partnership includes updating eight web-based courses delivering best practices education to providers of long-term care in Texas nursing homes.

The first three in the series of educational modules are available:

  • Infection Control and Prevention
  • Reducing Anti-psychotic Drug Use in Long-Term Care Facilities
  • Culture Change for Person-Centered Care

Each course provides education and resources for physicians, nurses, pharmacists, direct care staff, residents, and their family members and will help guide the decision-making process and improve care using evidence-based best practices.

Continuing education credit is available for registered nurses, certified nurse aides and licensed nursing facility administrators.

Registration is free. For more information, visit the Johnson-Turpin Center: Continuing Nursing Education | School of Nursing.
