UHN Registration Instructions – Clerkship
Step 1: Log in to your UMLearns account: https://UMlearns.UHN.ca
Note: Please use your existing account. Creating another account will result in access delays. If you are new to the Wightman-Berris Academy, please create a new account as a MEDICAL LEARNER, not a health profession, and complete the profile section in its entirety.

- Select placement year (example “2018-2019”)
- Choose both UHN and MSH and sign off on confidentiality
- Fill out required information
- Submit placement
Please disregard the registration instructions provided through UMLearns and adhere to the steps outlined below and in the attached. Your UHN and MSH registration will be finalized during Transition to Clerkship (TTC).
Step 2: Complete Training and Knowledge Test for access to UHN & MSH’s clinical information system – Electronic Patient Records (EPR) and Powerchart
EPR – UHN: Online training takes 1.5-2 hours.
- The EPR with Medication Order Entry course is completed via: http://www.uhn.ca/corporate/For_Staff/Digital_Education/Pages/EPR_physicians.aspx
Note: You must submit your UHN placement on uhn.ca prior to completing EPR training. This will allow for your knowledge test results to be uploaded into the registration database. - Once you have passed the knowledge test, you will be prompted to complete a Course Completion Declaration Form and an ID Verification Form. Accurate completion of these forms is required for you to receive timely EPR access.
Upon approval of your uhn.ca placement, you will receive an email confirming your registration. You will now have the following available under the Network Log-in tab in your UMLearns.uhn.ca profile:
- tID (your UHN network access ID). Your tID will allow you login access to any onsite computers, as well as corporate Wi-Fi and remote access to the UHN intranet.
- EPR log-in information (Note: your EPR credentials will not be visible until you have completed EPR training).
Please make every effort to complete your UMLearns registration and EPR training before August 13, 2018 to ensure timely access. If your placement is approved before you complete the training, please present in person to a Medical Education office to have your EPR authorized once you have completed the training. After TTC, you can also email MedicalEducation@uhn.ca with the subject line: EPR Test Completed. Access will be granted within two business days.
