Safety for Data and Occupation

As a student of medicine and dentistry at Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf, you are obliged to receive regular instruction in occupational health and safety and data protection. These instructions serve to sensitize you to the handling of protected and data-related (patient) data and to explain the applicable occupational health and safety regulations.

Instruction in occupational health and safety and data protection takes place in person every winter semester. Participation is mandatory for the 1st and 3rd year of study, the dates are set out in the respective timetable.
If there is no classroom instruction, students are required to refresh the instruction content online via the work and data protection portal “Students at Work” (S@W) and then take the test in ILIAS.
The online instruction therefore only serves to refresh the content every year and to bridge the gap until the next face-to-face instruction, but must not completely replace it.

Only students in their first semester must provide proof of a confidentiality obligation in addition to the instruction in occupational safety and data protection. The corresponding ILIAS test “Confidentiality Commitment” only has to be taken once during the course.

The combination of the instruction in occupational health and safety and data protection and the one-time confidentiality obligation form the proof in occupational health and safety and data protection.
Your successful participation will be recorded in the student portal (examination results).

The instruction in occupational health and safety and data protection is only valid for one year and is therefore reviewed regularly.
Participation in courses and internships is only possible with a valid certificate in occupational health and safety and data protection.

Students who are on a semester off do not have to take part in the instruction in occupational health and safety and data protection.

For medical students who are in the 3rd qualification phase (Q3), digital instructions take place. They will receive information from the Q3 study organization. The certificate is not recorded in the student portal.

For dental medicine students who are in the preclinical or clinical study phase, the proof is no longer noted in the student portal. You will receive the instruction from the respective clinics in presence.
