Things to know about EPIC training...
The CCPO training center address is 1 Federal Street, Camden, NJ. You will need to have ID: Bring a driver’s license or a passport just in case CMSRU ID is not accepted. The guard will have you sign in and provide a temporary badge that you must turn in when you leave. Arrive 15 minutes in advance of the start time, so you have time to get signed in at the front desk.

Cooper University Health Care Lockers
In June 2019, Cooper (CUHC) installed 228 new lockers on the 4th floor of the CUHC Dorrance Building, to provide an individual locker to M3 and M4 students to store personal belongings while on-site for clinical duties. Each M3 and M4 student is assigned a CMSRU locker prior to the start of the academic year. Students will supply a combination or keyed lock for their assigned locker. It is recommended lockers be kept secured at all times.
The contents of a student’s locker must be emptied at the close of a student’s fourth year, prior to graduation. Locks not claimed following graduation, will be removed by the Cooper Facilities department and personal belongings will be emptied. Unclaimed personal belongings will be donated to local community outreach programs. CMSRU and CUHC are not responsible for lost or stolen items.
