HIPAA-required post-designation and refresher training courses are available via a virtual learning platform sponsored by the BRCC’s HIPAA Complete subscription service. Program participants who attend a live HIPAA Complete webcast presentation are eligible to apply for HRCI or SHRM professional continuing education credits.

Professional education opportunities offered by the Baldwin Professional Education Connection (or “BPEC”) are detailed in the attached 2025 annual broadcast calendar.
