  • If you are a designated non-employee working at a UPMC facility or providing services on behalf of UPMC, you may access mandatory education through the links below. Remember to review the educational content and complete the accompanying assessment or acknowledgement.
  • It's important to note that after completing each test, you MUST select the "Continue" button on your passing results page to submit your completion record. This step is essential to receive credit for the course. Ensure you fill out and submit the form to receive credit for completing this education. (NOTE: This process does not apply to courses that are recommended but not required.)
