HIPAA Training
HIPAA training is offered through two platforms: Brainier and CITI. Training requirements are typically prompted in one of two ways:
- When an individual begins a position at Emory that their supervisor indicated involves access to PHI, or
- When a student's academic program requires HIPAA training.
The Office of Ethics and Compliance does not manually assign or enroll individuals in HIPAA training. It is the responsibility of each individual or student to enroll in the appropriate course once they receive notification that training is required.
See below for information regarding available courses and how to enroll, trouble shooting tips, and other issues.
