Human Trafficking Prevention Training – Important Course Update!
On July 31, 2025, the Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) published a revised list of approved training courses specifically designed to help healthcare professionals meet the human trafficking training requirements mandated by the Texas Occupations Code, Sections 116 and 301. Earlier this year, HHSC removed the list of approved courses from its website, so the agency accepted courses that had been previously listed as approved courses on the website.
Beginning September 1, 2025, TSBDE will only accept human trafficking courses listed on HHSC’s approved list. This list is easily accessible on the HHSC website under the “Health Care Practitioner Human Trafficking Training” section. HHSC will regularly review and update the list to include new courses or changes to existing ones.
