New Employee Onboarding

As part of the new hire process, all clinical employees and some employees in an administrative role who have exposure to patients of UT Southwestern Medical Center are required to gain clearance from the Occupational Health Department prior to attending orientation.

If you arrive more than 15 minutes after your scheduled appointment time, you will need to reschedule for another appointment time.

Prior to Your Appointment

Please log into Readyset to:

Complete and upload all required surveys
Upload vaccination records
Upload other necessary health records

Failure to complete these pre-arrival steps may require your appointment to be rescheduled.

Steps for New Employee
1. Appointments can take up to 45-60 minutes, depending upon the requirements for your position. During the Occupational Health screening appointment, the immunization status will be reviewed. If needed, the employee may be fitted for a respirator, vision tests may be given, immunization(s) may be given, and collection of lab specimen(s) may be performed.
2. When employees arrive for their appointment, they should have the following information available:
  - Proof of vaccination
  - Job title and description of job
  - Department name
  - Original and valid I9 documents (Please refer to page 5. Paper or photo copies are not accepted.)
  - Start date
3. The new hire health screening appointment will be scheduled by Occupational Health Onboarding team.
4. All newly-hired employees must complete all required surveys before the appointment, or the appointment may be rescheduled, which can delay the start day/orientation.
5. Bring a copy of your immunization records. We will need proof of the following vaccinations (if available).
