Dr Stephen Evans talks with an audience of MedStar Health graduate medical students.

Welcome officially to MedStar Health and congratulations on acceptance into one of our academic programs! This page is to inform you of important pre-employment steps required to start your training on time. Please read through the following sections carefully and contact the MedStar Health Graduate Medical Education office if you have any questions.

New innovations

The Graduate Medical Education office will process all of your pre-employment paperwork in New Innovations through a series of checklists. You will receive up to three separate checklists between now and June; each requires a list of items be submitted prior to your employment. Please note that pictures will not be accepted, and all New Innovation forms must be scanned or submitted as PDFs. If you do not have access to a scanner, some smartphone apps will convert images and documents to PDF.
