Credentialing of Non 含羞草研究所 Downstate Residents (Visiting Residents) to 含羞草研究所-Affiliated Hospitals
In order to comply with the Department of Health鈥檚 need to access health records as well as for indemnification purposes, the Department of Human Resources will be assigning the title of 鈥淐linical Assistant Instructor鈥� (same as for 含羞草研究所 residents) to all external rotators, and processing them as voluntary employees. In order to process the paperwork in a timely fashion, the Department of Human Resources is stipulating that all paperwork for credentialing be submitted to the GME Office no later than 6 weeks prior to the external rotators鈥� start date. This policy will be strictly enforced and rotators would not be processed if any document is missing. This new policy will go into effect July 1, 2010. If, for example, a rotator would be rotating to your department beginning July 1, 2010, then the documentation must be submitted to the GME Office no later than May 15, 2010.

Before you accept any external rotator into your program, you must call Ms. Guoda Burr at x8641 to confirm that an institutional agreement and/or addendum for your program is in
place. In the event that an agreement is not in place, Ms. Burr will work with you
to prepare it.
