HEALTH PRIVACY TRAINING REQUIREMENTS
All UF Employees and Volunteers in health
care components are required to complete Privacy Training during January and February each year.
Students enrolled in Health
Science Center colleges and programs should complete Privacy Training during May, June, July, and August each year.
Each member of the workforce is responsible for
maintaining their individual training requirements.
Colleges, departments, divisions, clinics, and other units are responsible for ensuring that all their workforce members are in compliance with orientation and annual training requirements.
Failure to comply with the entry and annual training requirements is a Level II Privacy Violation and repeated violations (i.e., failure to complete the training after multiple reminders) is grounds for disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment.
The Privacy Office does not send out training reminders to individuals, but does conduct periodic audits. Results of these training compliance audits are sent to College, Department, and/or Division heads, as appropriate. Audits may also be requested: Contact Everall Peele by email for more information.
