UPCOMING EVENTS

Nurse Training

ON-DEMAND VIRTUAL NURSE TRAINING

Following a member survey AHHA conducted on specialty nurse training needs, we have curated a pilot year of programming serving nurses across the state. AHHA’s workforce development contract funds allow us to offer these trainings at a discounted rate to our members.

​

Please note the following terms for payment and registration:

  1. Supervisors or nurse leads should register attendees for their facility.

  2. Attendees will be required to pay a portion of the course tuition and applicable management and credit card fees when registering for a course. This is typically about 25% of the training cost and applicable fees with a minimum of $25.

​

Trainees can expect their course registration login information to be delivered to their email 2-4 weeks after registration completion directly from the training vendor.

AHCANCAL

AHCA/NCAL COURSES

AHCA/NCAL offers a wide range of trainings for long-term care and assisted living facility staff, administrators, and providers.  Below are some suggested "hot courses" we recommend - please visit educate.ahcancal.org for a full list of available trainings.

​

AHHA supports employees at AHHA member facilities with reimbursement for online training course fees. This funding comes from a contract with the State of Alaska Department of Health focused on healthcare workforce development and, therefore, is contingent on the continuation of this funding stream. ​

​How does it work?

  • Approved awards will be capped at $2,000 per trainee, per event.

  • Both the training and the reimbursement request must be completed before June 30, 2026.

  • Reimbursement will only be provided for completed courses - documentation of successful course completion is required with the reimbursement request.


​How to apply:

  1. Apply online for funding approval - a separate application must be completed for each course. Applicants should receive confirmation within one week following submission.

  2. Register for the desired course/s through ahcancalED.

  3. Submit a reimbursement request online after successful completion of each course. Please be prepared to upload the receipt for the course cost and documentation of completion.
