Is it a violation of Hippa for a MD to bring a healthcare student into an examination room to see a patient and give the student access to a patients e-file without getting permission from the patient ?

no

At my old hospital, we used to get these montly "Random scenario X, is this a HIPPA violation?" emails. This thread would be perfect for that. If medicine doesn't work out for you, I suggest you become a HIPPA compliance officer.

Is this homework?

Don't most healthcare students (i.e. PA, nursing) sign those Hippa papers too at the start of their rotations?

Hell, I remember signing them as a pre-med student when I shadowed in a hospital...

...anyway, this sounds like a homework question.

HIPAA grants that others involved in the patient's healthcare can have access to their medical records when appropriate. You're involved in the patient's healthcare, so you're good.

Is this homework?

Or perhaps a disgruntled patient?

Something about this thread gets my moderator Spidey-sense going so I'm closing it.
