HIPAA Update: Keeping You Informed
Web-posted instructions should provide all the information you need to bring your research projects into HIPAA compliance, but if you prefer the interaction of a live seminar, plan to attend a special HIPAA session hosted by Rachel Nosowsky, UMHS Attorney and Jeannie Kain, IRBMED. The seminar, which will take place on Tuesday, March 4, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. in M5330 Med. Sci. I, will cover the research informed consent process.

To register for this session, send an e-mail to Tarja Virtanen at tarjav@umich.edu. If you have questions regarding this presentation or the IRBMED HIPAA application, please e-mail hipaairbmed@umich.edu.
