Health Information Privacy — When does HIPAA apply?
The University maintains health information related to its students, employees and community members, either at the Student Health Center, in student records or in records maintained by the university clinics. Whether these records are covered under FERPA or HIPAA, or in certain instances are not covered under any privacy law, can be a very confusing topic.

This workshop will provide an overview of the privacy of health information, aiming to clarify what information is covered by what law, when, and where.

Time: 11am-12pm
Location: Virtual
