Epic Access/Training

Students on the NICU rotations are required to complete UW Epic training that grants access to the EMR at UWMC.

All UWSOM students are already registered for the required Epic Orders IP/OP Medical Student training.

Login to the UW Medicine Learning Hub to check your learner dashboard for this training. You only need to complete the required Epic Orders IP/OP Medical Student training once in order to get basic level access.

You will use your UW Medicine account to access Epic and can maintain account credentials at MyUW.

If you have any questions about training or access, contact the UW Medicine Help Desk at 206-543-7012 or the Epic Hotline directly at 206-520-2255.
