The Health Resources and Services Administration, HRSA,  offers  
Unified Health Communication online training with an emphasis on   
health literacy, cultural competency and Limited English Proficiency.
As a recent retiree from HRSA and a member of the team that developed  
the training, I highly recommend the content.  The course offers CEUs  
and was a winner of the 2008 first place in the Gold Screen Webinar  
awarded by the National association of Government Communicators http://www.nagc.com/Awards/Docs/winnerlisting052108b.pdf

You can log onto the training at:

Let me know if I can help in any other way, Linda
