Your professional growth and career development starts from the moment you enter UMHS and continues throughout your tenure at the Health System.
We support the belief that the educational continuum of orientation to ongoing professional development impacts the quality of patient care delivered at UMHS.
Orientation
Our preceptored,
competency-based orientation is designed to meet your specific
role and clinical area needs. Orientation ranges from 6 weeks
to 6 months based on your experience and clinical specialty.
In addition we have a critical care externship for students
and internships in some of our specialty areas. For staff
who expand their roles to preceptors, educators, researchers,
case managers, etc, an orientation is designed just for them.

issues, high risk practices, and new equipment. Opportunities
to learn are through unit-based inservices, web based learning
and informal discussions.
