CITI Training
Please Select:
Basic CITI training
For Institutional Review Board (IRB) compliance, you will need to complete the online basic course in human subjects research with CITI (Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative) under Einstein affiliation. Note that if you've taken these courses independently or with another institution, when you add them under Einstein affiliation, completed portions will transfer over and you'll just be responsible for filling in any gaps.
1) If you have one, log in to your existing account at citiprogram.org. If you don’t already have an account, you will create one - do not create duplicate accounts as this will prevent existing trainings you may have already taken from transferring over.

Basically you search for / select “Albert Einstein College of Medicine.” under "Select Your Organization Affiliation" or under “Add Affiliation”.
