This cartoon depicts the way many people perceive HIPAA training. But it doesn’t have to be this way. When most people hear HIPAA training they prepare themselves to slog through a boring lecture filled with tedious legalese. Many have been subjected to hours of training that is overly technical, not useful for their jobs and not even close to being memorable. I designed my HIPAA training to be different. I believe that training should be fun and engaging. It should have personality. I avoid the wordy and needless filler material and focus on the key concrete things that people must know and do.
