UCI Health’s annual training is a collection of mandatory courses based on legal and/or regulatory requirements, UC system requirements, or as determined by UCI Compliance and/or leadership.

All UCI Health and UCI School of Medicine faculty and staff are required to complete annual trainings. Assigned courses vary based on role.

UCI Health and UCI School of Medicine faculty and staff are assigned the annual trainings at the beginning of each fiscal year.

New hire UCI Health and UCI School of Medicine faculty and staff will be assigned all required trainings once on-boarded and when UC Learning Center (UCLC) accounts are active (typically within 48 hours of start date).

Completion of all courses are within 30 days of assignment.

Specific target audiences may be assigned additional mandatory courses several weeks after the initial training assignment.
