About Provider Courses
Generally, all providers should be registered for the General Provider Courses: Epic LIP Basics and Ambulatory, Inpatient, or both (depending on their scope of practice).
Additionally, providers in certain specialties may need additional training. CLICK HERE to review the department or specialty-specific course information. More details about Specialty Trainings can be found here.
A Test Out for exemption is available for those with prior Epic LIP experience (see registration information above). Registration for the Test-Out is in addition to the General Provider Courses. There are no Test Outs available for Specialty Courses.
Providers who have been here in a same/similar role within the past 2 years may be eligible for total exemption from Epic Provider Test Out and/or Courses. Please email epictrainingrequests@healthcare.uiowa.edu with the provider's name and UID number for review for exemption.
Visiting Providers and Visiting Residents are eligible for an alternative training plan.
