To do this:

  1. The link for CITI Training is: www.citiprogram.org/default.asp
  2. Affiliate with Orlando Health by clicking on "Affiliate with another institution" after you log in.
  3. Orlando Health will be available in the drop-down menu for "Participating Institutions."
  4. Once you return to the Main Menu, click on "Add a course or update your learner group for Orlando Health." Choose the required course for Orlando Health as noted in the above table. If applicable, click on "Incomplete - Re-enter" to complete the appropriate course. If you do not see this option and instead you see "Passed - MM/DD/YY," then you do not need to do any additional training.
