Welcome to the State of Michigan (SOM), Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA), Bureau of Community and Health Systems (BCHS) Provider Training Channel. LARA's mission is to protect people and promote business in Michigan through transparent and accessible regulatory solutions. Our goal is to reduce barriers to licensure and enhance the customer experience. We strive to improve regulatory compliance by creating opportunities for education and consultation, and to provide efficient, effective, and timely services to all. On the BCHS Provider Training Channel, Applicants and Providers will find various resources and training videos related to codes, rules and acts. Providers will also find training videos that empower them to go above and beyond minimum licensing requirements and implement "best practices". Make sure to check out our "Community" section often, where we post helpful content and videos from other agencies and organizations.
