MODULE 9 - FEDERALLY MANDATED TRAINING
Title IX Training
Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972 protects people from discrimination based on gender in any federally-funded, education-related programs and activities. Title IX requires educational institutions to provide students and employees with an environment safe from sexual misconduct, such as sexual harassment and sexual violence.
Rocky Vista University is committed to providing a safe and inclusive academic environment, including ensuring that all students and employees are trained on the protections afforded to them by these regulations. We have partnered with Safe Colleges to provide this mandatory training.
MSBS training notifications will be sent on Aug. 9th to be due Aug. 23rd (2 weeks to complete).
HIPAA & OSHA Training
All students and employees involved in health sciences curriculum, research, and clinical courses at Rocky Vista University must complete a training course over the privacy laws which apply to the Health Professions to meet requirements of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA).
HIPAA requirements mandate that a covered entity provide training to all members of its institution about the institution’s “privacy policies and procedures with respect to protected health information…as necessary and appropriate for the members of the workforce to carry out their function within the covered entity” [45 CFR 164.530(b)(1)]. This Rule defines “workforce” as “employees, volunteers, trainees, students, and other persons whose conduct, in the performance of work for a covered entity, is under the direct control of such entity, whether or not they are paid by the covered entity” [45 CFR 160.103].
All students and employees at risk of bloodborne pathogens exposure must also complete basic training and annual refresher courses in biosafety (bloodborne pathogens and universal precautions), as required by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Under the Rule, the definition of “Trainees” includes medical students, residents, and other health professions students and employees.
Because patient contact and/or hands-on learning is a required part of the RVU’s curriculum, all RVU students must complete OSHA training. The avenue chosen for completion of this training is the Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI), provided through the University of Miami.
MSBS training notifications will be sent on Aug. 9th to be due Aug. 23rd (2 weeks to complete).
