Overview
As one of our valued physicians, training tailored to clinical workflows is required for a smooth transition and access to APeX, and timely completion is essential for readiness on and after the Oct. 4 Go-Live.
Physician Training Requirements
APeX Physician Training has been modified to improve efficiency and accessibility. Please review the recent updates below:
- NEW: Anyone, regardless of prior Epic experience, can now get APeX access through eCourse offerings (Amplifire Training) rather than required classroom training.
- You can complete Amplifire Training in less time, at your convenience, from any location.
- Excludes cardiologists and radiologists who still need to attend classroom training (virtual options available) due to specialized content.
- Classroom training is still available for those who prefer this option.
- NEW: Weekend offerings are now available to better accommodate your schedules.
- NEW: Split classes (i.e., two 3-hour classes versus one 6-hour class) are also now available.
- Virtual classroom options remain available.
