How to Access the UAB Faculty and Staff
Learning Management System (LMS)
(Formerly Known as Health Stream)
To Complete the Required UAB/UABHS
HIPAA Privacy and Security Training


Before any training module or requirement can be accessed via the LMS, the employee’s personnel “paperwork” must have completed the process to be in the appropriate human resources system.  Once that is completed, a new employee must create a BlazerID and password.  If the employee is transferring into a HIPAA covered entity and already has a BlazerID and password, time will be required for the transfer to be completed in the system as well.  The process from completion of employee personnel documents to creating BlazerID and password to having the required UAB/UABHS HIPAA Privacy and Security Training appear in “Assigned Learning” within the LMS could be up to 72 hours.

Once the above issues are fulfilled, follow these steps to access the required HIPAA training (please note that if the new employee attends a new employee orientation at which the required HIPAA training is presented, the credit for the training will be given in the LMS and completing the online course is not required):

  1. Go to the link: www.uab.edu/learningsystem (Internet Explorer is the preferred browser)
  2. Select "Access Learning System"
  3. Log in using your BlazerID and password
  4. Click to place the radial button under "Student/Manager"
  5. Select "Proceed with Login"
