3.3 Privacy, Confidentiality and Information Security Agreement (PCISA) Form

UW Medicine has a required training for all medical students to learn about how to properly safeguard confidential information and comply with standards for personal accountability for data stewardship. 

To complete this requirement, students will submit an online form titled the Privacy, Confidentiality, and Information Security Agreement (PCISA). The form includes the standards for safeguarding confidential information and formal agreement to comply.  

Incoming first-year students will receive an email from Compliance staff with instructions to complete this form, and instructions are available in the “pre-matriculation checklist” within the Admissions application portal, which is hosted by a web-based vendor called AMP.

MS2, MS3, MS4 students will complete the requirement annually, in the fall. The link to the online PCISA form will be emailed to students starting at about 30-days before the deadline or please email somcompl@uw.edu for the link.
