Epic Access for Students All students requesting/requiring the privilege to document in patient medical records are required to complete online and live virtual Epic trainings. A list of required classes will be provided to students in their onboarding emails based on the department they are placed. Epic classes are scheduled by OHSU months in advance and space is limited. HMC is not able to alter this schedule in any way. Often classes are only available once or twice per month.

Access is provisioned through OHSU after all required training are completed and a request is sent by HMC to the Epic Access Request Team.
