Training, Policies and Resources
Below you will find the training, resources, policies and links. If you are a University Employee, also review the myKUMC Intranet (login required) for Forms and additional information.
Initial and periodic training is required by many Federal and State regulations. In addition, the University of Kansas Medical Center (KUMC) and the University of Kansas Hospital require employee training so personnel can carry out their jobs safely and efficiently. Most safety training is in the KUMC learning management system. You can view a list of all job-based mandatory training at the university Mandatory Compliance Training Page.
While we transition our content into the new system, please reference the required training and quiz links on the EHS Safety Training page.
