Yes, it is. GME Orientation is centered around what you need to be hired as a UK Resident - employee onboarding presentations, employee health new hire visit, completing I-9 paperwork, and Epic Training. At program orientation, you will become familiar with the clinical areas, your faculty, and program expectations. Your program coordinator or program director should reach out about your specific program orientation schedule.

• End of March - You will receive a MedHub activation email and instructions for completing the first MedHub onboarding package.
• End of April - You will receive information for activing your LinkBlue ID.
• Early May - You will receive the second MedHub onboarding package.
• Early May - You will receive a detailed timeline of your GME Orientation activities.
• Early May - You will receive information for joining the GME Orientation Remind.
• Week of GME Orientation - You will receive the third MedHub onboarding package.

Remind will be used to manage communication between incoming learners and GME Office staff. Remind is primarily used with text messages, but you can also send and receive messages on the Remind app or via email. We will send out an invitation to join the GME Orientation Remind group shortly after Match Day in March 2024.

In May, will send your specific orientation schedule via Remind so that you have it on your phone for easy access and viewing.

This is a great way you for you to directly reach the GME Office and your orientation leader. 

Note: the GME Office may not respond to messages sent outside of normal business hours. We will respond when we return to the office the next business day.

When coming to campus for GME Orientation, you will park in the Hilltop Avenue Garage located at 301 Hilltop Ave, Lexington, KY 40506. You will park on floors 3-5. Floors 1-2 are reserved for people with a specific parking pass. Your orientation leader will meet you outside of the parking garage by the Don and Cathy Jacobs Science building to walk you to your appointments. Look for the person in UK blue!
