Resident and Fellow Policy ManualEmployment Eligibility Verification:In compliance with Federal regulations, the University of Rochester must verify documentation of the identity and employment eligibility of all employees. All residents are required to complete and sign the INS Form I-9. It is required by Strong Memorial Hospital that the GME Office receive primary source verification within 120 days of a resident's start date. The GME Office will send up to 3 requests for verification of a resident's work history to contacts provided on the mandatory work history chronological timeline form. If the GME Office does not receive a response from the contacts provided, after making up to 3 requests, or the 90-day mark, whichever is sooner, the full responsibility of providing the GME Office with official verification will rest with the trainee. After notification from the GME Office that there are verifications yet to be acquired, the individual will be given one month to produce suitable verification of previous experience. The specifics of these documents can be discussed with the Director for Graduate Medical Education. If the 30-day period elapses and the individual is unable to produce source verification, his/her clinical privileges will be suspended without pay. If ultimately the individual is unable to verify his/her history, then he/she will be released from his/her training program. |
