Completing Onboarding

A School of Medicine Human Resources Department representative will contact the new hire via email and set up an appointment time, typically on the first day of employment, to complete new hire paperwork and badge processing — School's employees are required to wear a picture ID badge during work hours.

During onboarding, the School's Human Resources Department will assist you with answering questions, making sure you have appropriate access to Workday, and provide you with an overview of the School of Medicine.

Clinical faculty will participate in additional onboarding processes through the 51³Ô¹ÏÍøÍòÄÜ¿Æ´ó Health Practice Plan. A representative from the Practice Plan will contact the employee.

Note: New hires should have their I-9 form completed within three business days of their hire date.
