HIPAA Training & Education

Under the HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules, certain members of Indiana University are required to obtain training related to the regulatory obligations of HIPAA. The training requirements must be met at the time of hire and on an annual basis. These personnel include:

  • Faculty, staff, students, affiliates, and volunteer positions in an IU HIPAA Covered Component;
  • Faculty, staff, and students in certain health sciences schools or Critical Health Data Areas; and
  • Any employees that work with or access systems with Protected Health Information (PHI), individually identifiable patient data protected by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). This module counts toward the annual training requirement.

Online and offline HIPAA training options are listed below.
