TRAININGS

HIPAA Training

New students will complete an online HIPAA training prior to matriculation and upload the certificate of completion to their onboarding system (MyRecordTracker for MAMS and DO, Exxat for DPT and MSOT). Current students will complete the online HIPAA training prior to starting each academic year and upload the certificate of completion to their onboarding system (MyRecordTracker or eValue for DO, Exxat for DPT and MSOT).

The HIPAA Basics course discusses the confidentiality of medical information as required by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). Focusing on HIPAA’s Privacy Rule and Security Rule, the course includes coverage of the 2009 amendments to HIPAA under the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act, including the new breach notification regulations.

Besides introducing the federal rules governing medical confidentiality, the course explains each student doctor’s obligations to ensure the privacy and security of health care information, and their potential liability for HIPAA violations.

The HIPAA Basics course covers definitions, rules, and requirements, as well as HIPAA mandated content (e.g., safe computing skills such as password management). It provides the background and awareness to identify, avoid, prevent, and respond to security and privacy breaches.

Hazard Communication (OSHA) Training

New students will complete an online OSHA training prior to matriculation and upload the certificate of completion to their onboarding system (MyRecordTracker for MAMS and DO, Exxat for DPT and MSOT). Current students will complete the online OSHA training prior to starting each academic year and upload the certificate of completion to their onboarding system (MyRecordTracker or eValue for DO, Exxat for DPT and MSOT).

The OSHA training explains the essentials of federal Hazard Communication (HazCom) standards and what employees/students need to know about container labels, safety data sheets, and HazCom symbols called pictograms. Using real cases and challenging interactions, it impresses why HazCom is important and how it can protect people.
