UCSF Fresno has partnered with ELM Exchange, Inc., the leading provider of online healthcare risk management and patient safety education programs and resources, to offer access to the highest quality risk management continuing education courses. This convenient online program is proven to help create a culture of enhanced patient safety and increases quality of care. These courses feature:

All Residents and Fellows are required to successfully complete several online courses, which include the Informed Consent IV (Pediatric residents complete Minor Consent), the Supervision of Residents and Assistants I course, the Scope of Practice course, the Transitions of Care I course and the Physician Impairment course.  In addition, your program may have courses that they require you to complete.
