Welcome to the Department of Anesthesiology and Critical Care medicine! We hope your work here is going to be a continually fulfilling and rewarding experience.

As you might know, every employee in this hospital is mandated by regulation to take certain training courses to ensure HIPAA Compliance. By Department policy, you are required to be certified within two weeks of your joining date. The required courses by your job title have been mentioned in the attachment. Once you have successfully completed these courses, you are required to submit the completion certification proof to your immediate manager, so that these can be further transferred to your records with the ACCM HR division.
