All USF Health students must complete the HIPAA training during their first semester following admission. It is available on this page: http://www3.research.usf.edu/dric/hrpp/. 

ALL faculty, residents, students, staff and other members of the USF Health Community are required to complete the USF Health Professional Integrity and Compliance required training for the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), a federal privacy act. Completion of the HIPAA training is mandatory and must be completed during the first semester to avoid a registration hold in your second semester. You can get access to the training at: USF Health Required Online Training. You must have a USF Health email account to complete HIPAA.  

The Professional Integrity and Compliance Training includes sections on the following:

All USF doctoral students must complete training in the responsible conduct of research through the Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI) module most relevant to the student's program of study. The training is available at this page: http://www.grad.usf.edu/rcr.php.  Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) is a critical element in training for scholarship.  

Effective Spring 2013, Office of Graduate Studies requires all new doctoral students to have basic RCR training by completing the Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI) module most relevant to the student's program of study. The CITI modules have been designed to introduce researchers to various elements of research conduct ranging from research misconduct to data management to mentoring.   As this is a minimum requirement, specific doctoral programs may require training that goes beyond the basic components introduced in this module. Graduate Programs that have received Office of Graduate Studies approval for rigorous RCR training consistent with disciplinary standards and practices may exempt their students from the CITI requirement.  Students must complete the module, or provide evidence of previous qualified RCR training to their Program Director and Office of Graduate Studies, in the first semester enrolled in a doctoral program.  Previous RCR training should have been completed within the past year.  Students will be unable to register for courses in a future semester until successful fulfillment of this RCR requirement.  Once the training is completed, the Registration hold will be lifted.

All COPH doctoral students must complete the eIRB credentialing process during their first semester following admission. You can access the ARC Portal on this page: http://www3.research.usf.edu/dric/hrpp/.

All USF doctoral students must complete the Electronic Thesis and Dissertation (ETD) workshop offered by the Graduate School in the semester prior to submitting the dissertation, although we recommend that you complete this earlier. The training is available at this page: http://www.grad.usf.edu/etd-res-main.php.
