Site Onboarding Tasks

If you already have a badge for HMC, please send your badge number to the site coordinator.
HMC Surgery Information
HMC has helpful information regarding student rotations on the HMC Surgery Education website. This is where student can find call schedules and course expectations, as well as helpful resources such as Trauma Pearls. Please follow the link to review course overview information.
Epic EMR Training
If you have not previously completed Epic EMR training through UW, you will need to complete assigned LMS training modules prior to the start of the rotation. You MUST complete this training to access Epic. Failure to complete the assigned training will prohibit your access to the EMR system used at UWMC. In addition to assigned LMS training modules, students need to complete the “On Demand” specialty training bundle for surgery – “Medical Student Surgery Rotation”. The “On Demand” bundles are not specifically assigned so you will need to search the LMS system to locate them. Once all trainings are complete, it can take 1-3 business days for your access to be updated. Outstanding Epic training modules, including the “On Demand” modules for surgery, can impact your access to the EHR system.
