Where to go on your First Day

Orientation sessions are scheduled for the first day at 0845 and are held virtually.  The Zoom link will be forwarded to all rotators no later than a week prior to the start date.  After the virtual orientation, it is the responsibility of the resident/student to reach out to your attending/junior/attending/senior resident to arrange a time/location to meet up with the team.  If you are starting your GIM rotation off-cycle (post-call first day, etc.), please be sure to reach out to your attending/junior attending/senior resident to arrange a time/location to meet up with your team on your first day.
