Annual Required Education (ARE) is due 9/30/2024. With less than a week until the deadline, the Medical Center has a completion rate of 53.2%. Family Medicine is at 40%. Please keep in mind that the deadline will NOT be extended this year, so please plan accordingly. Since no one will be able to see patients if not complete, not meeting the deadline will have major implications for our operations and our patients.
See the attached job aid for accessing the content in Workday. Completion on a mobile devise is not the preferred platform, but if you must, see the attached job aid.
