There are no DSHS mandatory competencies or learning objectives for population specific training. The training entity developing the training determines the competencies and learning objectives that best meet the care needs of the population(s) served.

Competencies and learning objectives described for developmental disability specialty training in WAC 388-112-0122, dementia specialty training in WAC 388-112-0132, mental health specialty training in WAC 388-112-0142, aging and older adults in WAC 388-112-0091 and young adults with physical disabilities in WAC 388-112-0083 may be used to develop the population specific training in these topic areas. This is not a requirement.

Competencies and learning objectives used to develop the training must be submitted with the curricula when sent to DSHS for approval as described in WAC 388-71-1026.
