UW Medicine Epic Access – for Medical Students
For students in the Foundations phase participating in Research or Service Learning activities, a faculty sponsor must submit a request for the student to have access to UW Medicine clinical systems, including Epic EHR.
When students are participating in clinical clerkships, the School of Medicine sponsors access for all UW students, until their graduation date.
Request Access for a Student:
To request UW Medicine Epic access for students, someone with a UW Medicine (AMC) account must submit a UW Medicine Account Activation Request Form to sponsor the students access for the duration of the activity.
Students should be prepared to provide the sponsor with Legal First and Last Name, UW Student ID, UW NetID, Cell Phone (used for MFA/DUO), and Date of Birth which are required to submit the form.
These users are responsible for learning about the practice of medicine by creating, developing, and planning medical services for a patient under the supervision and guidance of a licensed physician. These users can:
- Review patients’ chart and case file
- Document notes
- Pend orders, but do not sign orders
These users do not have the ability to place orders for procedures or medications or reconcile outside information.
Students must complete Epic Orders IP/OP training to receive ‘Medical Student’ permissions in Epic.
