Our Work

The University of Rhode Island partners with healthcare organizations and biotechnology companies to develop targeted trainings based on the educational needs of the healthcare workforce. From Mental Health First Aid Certificate Training at primary care practices to Quality Improvement Training at RI’s Accountable Care Organizations, we have the resources to support a wide variety of training needs. We support the healthcare workforce transformations efforts of the Rhode Island Executive Office of Health and Human Services (EOHHS) with the RI Department of Labor and Training through a Real Jobs RI Partnership, and hold the Transforming Health In Rhode Island.

HCBS Overdose Response Training

Become a Community First Responder! The HCBS workforce has direct access to patients and others in their homes or community settings which increases the likelihood of exposure to a person experiencing an overdose. This program will increase knowledge about the opioid epidemic, the ability to respond appropriately in an overdose situation, and provide training about how to administer naloxone. This one hour-long training is targeted towards paraprofessionals in the HCBS sector.

Programa Comunitario de Primeros Auxilios: HCBS Respuesta a Sobredosis (Español)

Dado que la fuerza laboral de HCBS tiene acceso directo a los pacientes y otras personas en sus hogares o entornos comunitarios, este programa aumentará su conocimiento sobre la epidemia de opioides, su capacidad para responder adecuadamente en una situación de sobredosis y brindará capacitación sobre cómo administrar naloxona. Los módulos existentes se complementarán con una capacitación de una hora recientemente desarrollada dirigida a paraprofesionales en el sector HCBS.

Social Determinants of Health

The health of an individual or a community is about much more than fighting disease or infection. Our overall health is determined, in part, by access to social and economic opportunities, such as the level of education or economic standing of a community, and the resources and supports available in our homes, neighborhoods, and local governments. Improving these social determinants of health is key to “Building a Culture of Health” in Rhode Island. Several recorded presentations on this topic are available.
