Phase 3 Annual Compliance

Requirements

Indiana University School of Medicine students are required to maintain compliance with university policies, accreditation standards and clinical partner requirements throughout their medical education. Compliance requirements help ensure the safety and well-being of students, patients, faculty, staff and the communities we serve.

Phase 3 Students

All Phase 3 students are required to complete annual compliance requirements to maintain eligibility for clinical rotations and other educational activities. These requirements ensure continued compliance with university, clinical partner and regulatory standards throughout the final phase of medical school training.

The following annual compliance requirements must be completed:

  • Indiana University HIPAA Module
  • Indiana University Bloodborne Pathogens Training for Clinical Personnel
  • Basic Life Support (BLS) Certification
  • IU Health Annual Mandatories and Onboarding Materials
  • Indiana University School of Medicine Annual Policy Review Attestation
  • Indiana University School of Medicine Annual Technical Standards Review and Attestation
  • Indiana University School of Medicine HIPAA Annual Attestation Form
  • Fit Testing

Detailed instructions, annual deadlines, submission procedures and requirement-specific guidance are maintained within the Phase 3 Canvas site and MedHub.

Students are responsible for reviewing all requirement instructions carefully and completing each requirement by the established deadline.

Most compliance documentation must be submitted through MedHub for review and verification by the IU School of Medicine Compliance Office.

Examples of required documentation may include:

  • HIPAA completion certificates
  • Bloodborne Pathogens training certificates
  • BLS certification cards
  • Signed attestation forms
  • Fit Testing documentation
  • Additional onboarding materials as required

Submission of documentation to a regional campus, department, clerkship office or affiliated clinical site does not satisfy IU School of Medicine compliance requirements unless specifically indicated.

Phase 3 students are required to maintain annual respiratory protection compliance through Fit Testing in accordance with OSHA regulations and affiliated clinical site requirements.

Fit Testing helps determine the appropriate N95 respirator for use during clinical activities and is required for participation in patient care environments where airborne precautions may be necessary.

Documentation submitted to MedHub should include:

  • Student name
  • Date of testing
  • Mask model(s) tested
  • Pass or fail result
  • Signature of the individual conducting the Fit Test

Students should retain copies of all Fit Testing documentation for their records. Annual Fit Testing is required for continued participation in clinical activities.

  • Maintain a current BLS certification from an approved provider.
  • Complete all required annual training modules and attestations.
  • Complete annual Fit Testing by the established deadline.
  • Monitor your IU email regularly for compliance-related communications.
  • Retain copies of all submitted documentation.
  • Review both Canvas and MedHub regularly for updates and requirement-specific instructions.

Failure to complete annual compliance requirements by the designated deadline may result in restrictions on participation in clinical rotations, electives, away rotations or other educational activities.
