Learning Gateway is a web-based system sponsored by UW Medical Center and Harborview Medical Center, designed to provide comprehensive eLearning training for residents and clinical fellows. It focuses on the essentials of safe and effective patient care that are standardized across the UW Medicine enterprise, and is designed to help residents and fellows meet Joint Commission requirements, as well as competency education requirements of the ACGME.
Residents and fellows will access the Learning Gateway modules via the UW Medicine Learning Management System website.
