New Employee Training
The Indian Health Service (IHS) is required to:
- Provide training to Employees, Volunteers and Contractors
- Provide training to New Employees no Later than 30 Days After Beginning Work
- Provide Department-Specific Training (i.e. Health Information Management)
- Provide Revised Training when Policies are Revised

In order to provide this training the IHS has developed a WEB based training program. At the end of the training program there is a test. When the employee successfully takes the test they can print a HIPAA Training Certificate for their files. Also the names of the employees that have passed the test are maintained in a computer file.
