As part of your professional preparation, all massage therapy students are required to complete HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) training before participating in any clinical, internship, or client-based work.
HIPAA is a federal law that protects the privacy and security of health information. As a massage therapy professional, you may have access to client health details — even basic ones — and it is your legal and ethical responsibility to handle that information appropriately.
Completing HIPAA training ensures that you:
• Understand the basics of patient privacy rights
• Know how to manage confidential health information
• Are prepared to work in clinical or healthcare-adjacent environments
You can fulfill this requirement by completing an online training course that covers HIPAA basics and provides a certificate of completion.
Here's how to get started!
• The Start Training Now button below will open a new tab and redirect you to a FREE, trusted, external site at www.hipaatraining.us where you can complete the required training course, which includes short videos and quizzes. (Approx. 30 min to complete)
• Upon completion, you will receive a certificate. If you are a student in the upcoming massage school cohort at The Wellness School, please forward your certificate of completion in an email to info@wellnessschool.com.
