Expanded eIS (electronic Information Sheet) Training Program.

Hands-on eIS training sessions demonstrate how to create, complete, and circulate an eIS. All staff who process information sheets on a regular basis are encouraged to attend. Sessions last approximately 90 minutes and pre-registration is required.

eIS refresher courses provide an opportunity for staff to ask questions about the eIS. Staff who have previously attended a hands-on session or are unable to attend a hands-on session are encouraged to attend. Sessions last approximately 30 minutes to one hour, depending on the volume of questions.
