Course Syllabus

This Privacy and Security Training course is required for all BSD faculty, staff, students, and volunteers. Although many BSD individuals do not have direct patient contact or actively use patient medical records or other applications that have patient information, they are exposed to incidental patient protected health information (PHI) or need information on how to assure all confidential data can be secured. Government regulations require that all individuals who have both direct and indirect access to PHI receive training to ensure understanding of our obligations under federal and state privacy laws.
