Privacy and Security Training for a Safe New Year!

The start of a new year is the best time to refresh your privacy and security awareness by completing OMD's training modules. As our reliance on a variety of digital health technologies grows, it's crucial to understand the risks and accountability obligations associated with using these technologies to be better positioned to protect your patients' data and your practice. The training modules are comprehensive, covering key privacy and cybersecurity issues, and best of all, are free!

Using OMD-certified EMRs can also provide peace of mind as they meet a minimum set of privacy and security requirements (and give you access to provincial digital tools like HRM and more).
