Overview
This course is designed to teach healthcare security professionals the basics of conducting a security risk assessment in a hospital or community care site setting. It will provide you with a solid foundation to start conducting your own internal security risk assessments immediately upon completion.

So it's important that your organization is equipped with the right approach to conduct these assessments.
The course leverages the experience and expertise of David Corbin, a healthcare security professional with 10+ years of healthcare consulting experience and 20+ years of experience as a healthcare security leader. That means you'll get a solid foundation in risk assessment and mitigation along with a realistic approach to the process that you can implement in your organization.
