Medical Student Orientation Checklist
Orientation: Generally, the first Monday of your rotation, Dr. Shah will meet with you in the Emergency Care Center that morning for an hour long orientation. You should be prepared to work a shift that day unless otherwise scheduled. It is important to have your paperwork turned in at least three to four weeks in advance to get your badge and pass-codes before your first day at Rady Children’s Emergency Care Center.
Computer Access Code/EPIC Access: Fax your completed GME, Confidentiality Agreement and Badge Request forms to Shaela Parrott, GME Coordinator at fax 858-966-7477. Turnaround time to enter residents into the system is approximately three weeks, once we receive the forms.
