Compliance Education
SIUE faculty, staff and students can access most mandatory and optional professional development through the Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI) program.
Modules can be used to satisfy required professional development. Webinars and blogs/podcasts can be used to satisfy supplemental professional development.
Typically, mandatory training is required to be completed prior to engaging in a regulated activity.
Contact researchcompliance@siue.edu regarding credit for training at another institution as well as custom training.
