Ascension Orientation

Your progress is not tracked in each course – if you leave a course in the middle, you will need to start again from the beginning. Be sure to leave adequate time to complete each course. Upon completion of the courses, be sure to complete the Attestation Form. This only records your completion of this step - please be sure to complete the remaining steps in order to be show completion of all instructor orientation materials.

The majority of the Ascension Wisconsin sites utilize an Electronic Health Record (EHR). You will need to learn the applications that apply to your discipline and to the site where you will be working. Please note that different sites utilize different systems and as a result, require different training. Make sure you are reviewing the correct training materials for your upcoming clinical placement location and role. 

If you are unsure of which system your site is located, review our Quick Reference Site Guide or contact your school clinical coordinator for assistance.

Please Note: Instructors are responsible for training their students to the appropriate applications.
