Mandatory Online Components

Pre-Class Study Modules (Required)

You must complete the full 2025 EMR Pre-study on our Learning Management System (LMS) before you begin your in-class training. This training is divided into 5 parts, each of which should take 8-12 hours to complete. You do not have to (and should not) complete them all in one sitting.

To access the LMS, and your EMR study materials,

  1. Access our LMS here.

  2. Your username is your email address.

  3. Your password is: #1Student

  4. Click on EMR 2025 to get started

*** Important! There is an annoying bug in our LMS that sometimes prevents modules from being marked as complete. As long as you have completed all the quizzes and knowledge assessments in the module, we can see that the work has been done - the system may not recognize your accomplishment, but we do! :-)
