The Texas Health Steps Provider Education website recently won second place in the national ASTHO Vision Awards. This award, presented by The Association of State and Territorial Health Officials, recognizes creative approaches to public health needs by state health programs and initiatives.

The purpose of Texas Health Steps (THSteps) Online Provider Education is to offer a range of high-quality training opportunities to THSteps providers. This training is designed to improve providers' ability to deliver comprehensive preventive health, mental health, dental, and case management services to Medicaid-eligible children from birth through 20 years of age.

THSteps Online Provider Education consists of a number of self-paced, web-based training modules. Each module is divided into sections, with an evaluation component following each section. These evaluations enable trainees to assess their knowledge as they complete each module. An online certificate of completion will be issued after a trainee successfully completes an entire module.

Continuing education (CE) credits can be awarded to eligible participants after the successful completion of each module.
