HIPPA Education:

For USF Health:

HIPAA education is mandatory for USF Health faculty, staff, students, residents, and fellows who are in the USF Covered Health Care Component.

If you are required to complete HIPAA education for USF Health, you must go to their Web Site to complete it: USF Health HIPAA Education.

If you have any questions or problems with the USF Health HIPAA training, please contact the Helpdesk at (813) 974-6288.

Please Note:  The USF Health HIPAA course does not meet the USF IRB requirement for education in human subject protections
