The "Annual Student Required Training" is a course that combines the following subjects into one course required annually for all students: General Compliance, HIPAA, Information Protection, Sexual Harassment, Fire Safety, Isolation Precautions and Standard Precautions. Many of our volunteer ambulatory sites will not let you enter their locations without proof of this training.

Available through MyStar (please make sure they are current).

Some away locations will require immunizations that are not required by UTMB. Those can be dealt with on a case by case basis. For information on what immunization records are required by UTMB and most other healthcare organizations, please visit: https://www.utmb.edu/studenthealth. Make sure your immunizations are up-to-date.

1. Log into MyStar
2. Click on the 'Student Center' tab on the left.
3. Scroll down to the 'Personal Information' section and click on the 'Immunization Information" link.
4. A link to your immunization records can be found on this page.
5. If you can't access your immunization records, please visit UTMB's Student Wellness office for a hard copy of your records.

Remember that you may be working in another city when we ask for them, so prepare accordingly. Some students will gather this information and then email it to themselves so they have it on file in a digital format. They are then able to email it to anyone requesting this information.

• Driver's license
• Health insurance card
• BLS/ACLS - the clinic where you work may need to have a copy of these e-cards. Please have them available when you go on your community-based rotations. Can't find your BLS/ACLS e-cards? Go to https://ecards.heart.org/student/myecards and type in your information to retrieve a new copy.

When applying for away rotations through VSLO, you may be asked to submit proof of OSHA Training that you've completed while at UTMB. The UTMB Office of Compliance does not have any training that is specifically entitled OSHA Training. We suggest that you log into the UTMB Annual Online Training System and make a copy of your transcript and appropriate certificates which list all of the training modules you have completed while at UTMB. Many of the training modules that you have completed contain items that would be considered OSHA-related.
