Training program overview
Training is individualized depending on the learner type and the physical unit that the learner is working. Please refer to your individual learning plan in Elevate to determine how long this will take.
Please note that there is a specific order in which to complete the training program:
| Option 1 | Option 2 |
| I have equivalent Epic experience at an approved healthcare organization and will attest out of the training. (Exemption criteria.) | I do not have previous Epic experience and will require the full training |
| Please ensure that you have your computer login and FortiToken |
| Step 1 | Read and complete the Attestation document (testing out) | Complete pre-class learning |
| Step 2 | Highly recommended – Review the ‘Recommended E-Learnings’ in the EUPA to ensure greater success | Attend instructor-led training (Residents can choose in-person or virtual synchronous; Fellows and Core Anesthesia and Haem/Onc. must attend in person) |

It is strongly recommended that learners complete the mandatory e-learnings before class, as it will create a more fulsome learning environment. However, learners will not be prevented from attending classroom training if they have not completed the required e-learning.
EUPA is a multiple-choice assessment/quiz of staff, physician and learner knowledge of the new Epic system. Staff, physicians and learners will take the EUPA following virtual or classroom training, and have two (2) chances to achieve 80% in order to be granted access to the new system. Staff, physicians and learners who are exempted from training can proceed directly to the EUPA.
User Setting Labs are live guided course sessions offered to providers where they learn how to personalize the system to their needs.
During these sessions you will learn how to customize ordering tools such as an order set, or order panel, and customize note writing tools like a SmartPhrase or macro. You will learn to create shortcuts and preferred tools that will allow you as an end user to tailor your Epic experience to meet your needs and preferences.
Personalizing your Epic profile will allow you to customize the system and will identify opportunities to streamline workflows and increase efficiency within Epic.
