Job Description & Qualifications
An Epic credentialed trainer (CT) is a selected individual who will become part of the Epic program for the purposes of assisting with the delivery of UH Epic curriculum.

Their primary role is to learn the UH Epic curriculum, understand the impactful workflow, achieve expert level in navigating Epic, and effectively deliver our Epic curriculum to UH caregivers in the manner outlined by their Principal Trainer. These individuals will achieve Credentialed status through a formal training program, typically 4-6 weeks, coordinated by the Application-specific Principal Trainer. They will then be assigned Epic education classes to deliver on a defined schedule throughout our Epic implementation efforts.

Multi Modality
I like nightshift because the smaller staff helps me build connections and friendships with the staff around me. Helping us to better communicate without any issues, including doctors. I can work independently, keeping my thinking skills sharp. Even when it is quiet, it is never boring.
