How to Access the UAB
Learning Management System (LMS)
(Formerly Known as Health Stream)
To Complete the Required UAB/UABHS
HIPAA Privacy and Security Training
HIPAA Privacy and Security Training
Before any training module or requirement can be accessed via the LMS, the student must be entered into Banner. Once that is completed, a new student must create a BlazerID and password. If the student already has a BlazerID and password, but is newly associated with a HIPAA covered entity, time will be required for the HIPAA training to appear in his/her assignment list. The process from entering into Banner 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 48 hours.
