Topics covered will include:

Orientations will take place virtually on the third Wednesday of each month from 9:00 - 10:00 a.m.
Administrative staff will be prompted to register incoming postdoc for New Postdoc Orientation once the postdoc has cleared all requirements including criminal background clearance, education verification, and any necessary immigration process.
If a postdoc has already cleared for a start date of January or later, we ask that you please register them for the appropriate orientation using this link.
We look forward to being able to further support our VUMC postdocs in this way.
