There are 7 modules in this course

Learn to execute the four core account lifecycle tasks—create, update, disable, and verify—in Microsoft identity systems for healthcare users. Every task follows an approved workflow, so this module builds the discipline of executing documented procedures rather than making autonomous administrative decisions.

Turn account lifecycle execution into verified readiness. Learn which account attributes and status fields Tier 1 technicians verify to confirm a newly provisioned account is ready for downstream Microsoft 365 access, mailbox provisioning, group membership, and healthcare application sign-in, catching gaps before the clinician hits them on their first shift.

Learn to execute the four routine account maintenance task categories that a Tier 1 healthcare IT technician handles daily. Every task follows a standard procedure—you're building the discipline of executing consistent, secure maintenance under documented workflows rather than making autonomous judgment calls on identity verification, access boundaries, or password conventions.

What's included

2 videos2 readings2 assignments

Turn maintenance work into audit-ready records. Learn what makes an account change record traceable under healthcare compliance requirements, the four elements every record must contain, and produce documentation in an ITSM tool that would survive a compliance audit without follow-up questions.

Learn the standard Tier 1 approach to any Outlook ticket: verify account settings first, then diagnose by issue category. Practice with the four categories a healthcare IT technician handles most, such as profile, calendar, mailbox, and connectivity, across both the classic and New Outlook clients that clinical staff currently use side by side.

What's included

2 videos2 readings2 assignments

Learn to run the routine configuration checks that keep clinical Outlook environments compliant, including the shared mailbox permissions, calendar sharing scope, and protected information handling, and route findings that need Compliance attention through a warm transfer rather than an autonomous decision.

What's included

Work on a coordinated multi-ticket account case for a new cardiology physician joining a mid-size regional healthcare system. Your Monday queue has 5 tickets tied to the physician's intake package, some sequential, some parallel, spanning account provisioning, attribute verification, an approved access change with compliance documentation, an Outlook troubleshooting request, and a shared calendar configuration check. Work each ticket following the appropriate Tier 1 procedures, document your work, and produce a Case Report that a hiring manager can scan to evaluate your integrated account-management, documentation, and Outlook troubleshooting skills.
