Until further notice, study monitors should not travel to UVA to conduct monitoring visits. Monitors are able to review source data in Epic remotely via EpicCare Link.
To request remote Epic access for your monitor, please click here.
For studies for which source data is not recorded in Epic, please work directly with your monitor to develop a plan to provide them with the information they need to monitor remotely.
This service has been cancelled until further notice.
