OHSU Onboarding

OHSU Office of Visitors and Volunteering (OVV) Onboarding is required prior to starting work in your RLC

Purpose of OHSU Onboarding with OVV:

• • Background check

  • OSHA skills training

  • Plus you get a very discounted Trimet Pass & other OHSU employee/volunteer discounts if you want

  • Takes a long time - typically, 4-6 weeks

  • Once this process begins, please check pdx.edu daily for emails from OHSU.

Before OVV onboarding is complete, you may:

• • Complete the Scholar/RLC agreement

  • Attend a few lab meetings to meet the people you will work with

  • Read literature relevant for your lab’s work

  • RLC work is limited to background reading and attending lab meetings until you are onboarded (aka “badged”) with OHSU’s OVV.

Before you get your badge:

• • Communicate with RLC mentor and lab mates via email

  • Ask for literature and protocols to review

  • Attend lab meetings
