This is a busy time for each of your as well as your training program. We have developed a tentative schedule for the various orientation activities. You can click on the 3rd link on the left-hand menu to view the tentative schedule. We will email you to check back if changes are made. The last two weeks of June (beginning Monday, June 16) will be filled with orientation activities for our new residents and fellows. The first day, June 16, is an orientation luncheon. Although attendance is not mandatory on that date, we hope you will be able to attend since it will be a great opportunity to meet your colleagues as well as several chief residents and program directors with whom you will be working over the next year or more. BLS, ACLS training, etc., will begin the next day, June 17. Orientation activities continue through June 30, 2008, concluding with departmental orientation on the 30th. Your first day of official resident duties and training will be July 1, 2008. You should receive your Letter of Commitment from your residency coordinator by Monday, March 24. Please fax back to your coordinator by Friday, March 28. We need the contact and demographic information on the form over the next few months. |

The Office of Graduate Medical Education for the UT College of Medicine Chattanooga is located in Suite 104 (first floor) of the Whitehall Building just across from our hospital, Erlanger. Please read through this entire webpage so you can click on the hyperlinks, view and print the various forms that must be completed and returned to us, as well as a checklist of forms. Several of the forms are in a pdf format that will allow you to enter your information online (as you view the page on the Internet). Then you can print them and sign those where a signature is required. We have been working with the main medical school campus in Memphis to ensure that all forms you will need to complete have been updated. The University of Tennessee has developed nine online training modules that every resident must complete:
Once we have your full name, date of birth, and social security number, we will obtain and send you a UT Net ID login and instructions so you can complete the required online modules prior to June 30. Online Resident Handbook: Before you begin training please go to our website and read through the Online Resident Handbook. There are three sections you especially need to review: Resident Stipends and Benefits, UT GME Policies and Procedures, and Erlanger Policies and Procedures that apply to residents. Reviewing these policies will provide you very helpful information throughout your residency as well as help us ensure you understand administrative policies that will govern your training. As soon as you have reviewed the handbook, you can sign and submit a statement acknowledging that you have reviewed and understand the policies. You have until June 29 to complete your review and submit the form. Click here to view and print the attestation form for the handbook. Note: As University of Tennessee employees, you will be paid once each month on the last working day of the month. Your first paycheck will be Thursday, July 31. |

expanding our Medical Surgical Skills Lab to include a multidisciplinary
Simulation Lab, as well as adding support staff to foster more research
and scholarly activity among our residents and faculty.
