“To someone who is totally new to this information, I feel much more informed on HIPAA regulations.”

“Very good breakdown of all that’s necessary to be HIPAA compliant. So easy to understand now!”

“I have completed other HIPAA courses over the years and I feel this was by far the best for an out of hospital midwifery practice. You provided examples of practical use that other courses have not.”

“Thank you so much for all the information and wonderful courses. You provide such a great resource for midwives to expand their knowledge :)”

“This course is definitely needed! This was one area of my midwifery education that was lacking. I'm so glad I took this right after becoming a CPM and starting my business--I can start off doing things correctly now!”

“The presenter did very well. Her voice was soothing, which really helped lower my anxiety about becoming HIPAA compliant lol! I feel a lot less anxious after taking this course.”

“Thank you for providing the checklist! It definitely helps with the feeling of overwhelm after learning and reviewing all the material.”

“Great job! I am a student entering a birth center and this was surprisingly more interesting than I was thinking it would be! Great work!”

“I am a student and plan to take this course again when I get into practice. The checklist is great, and the information as relevant to Midwives is exactly what I wish most HIPAA courses were created for.”

“Compliance with HIPAA can feel overwhelming and very alien to my practice setting. Maryl explains everything HIPAA in a clear and organized way, with information that applies to my small practice and to larger practices. And the tools which she provides make it so straightforward and easy to become HIPAA compliant. The information on HIPAA and social media, email, and mobile devices was especially helpful. An excellent workshop!”
