Arkansas Community Health Worker Association Specialty Track Training

Specialty Tracks are courses specifically designed for Community Health Workers (CHWs), crafted with input from subject matter experts and CHWs themselves, to ensure the content is relevant and beneficial for their professional development.

Specialty Tracks, consisting of 16 - 20 hours, focus on advancing knowledge, experience, and expertise in a particular skill, topic, or population group.

Specialty Tracks play a crucial role in the ongoing professional growth of CHWs, as they offer opportunities to delve deeper into specific areas of interest or expertise. By participating in these advanced courses, CHWs can further their understanding and knowledge of specialized subjects, allowing them to better serve the diverse communities they work with.

The Arkansas Community Health Worker Association Certification Commission ensures that Specialty Track courses meet the highest standards of quality and relevance, making them a valuable asset for CHWs seeking to enhance their skills and knowledge base.

Upon successful completion of specialty track training, CHWs may apply for formal specialty knowledge recognition through ARCHWA.
