Report on Training Standards for Personal Care Aides

UCSF's Healthcare Workforce Research Center published a comprehensive report of training standards for personal care aides across all 50 states and Washington D.C. The report found six states to be "leader states" in their training standards. The report found that the majority of states, 32 states and Washington D.C., had consistent training requirements, defined as uniform training requirements for agency-employed PCAs, while seven states had no training requirements at all.
