Incoming & Rehired Residents/Fellows
Due to COVID-19 related restrictions, the Graduate Medical Education Office will NOT be having an In-Person Orientation this year. Completing your MedHub On-Boarding packet will be your only required GME Orientation task.
A Rehired Resident/Fellow who has left Stanford 6 months or more is considered an Incoming Resident/Fellow. Please complete all Incoming Residents/Fellows requirements.
SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER ISSUANCE: Once J-1 physicians arrive in the United States, they must obtain a social security number in order to begin their training. Obtaining a social security number typically requires an in-person interview at a Social Security Administration (SSA) field office, which are temporarily closed due to COVID-19. ECFMG|FAIMER reached out to the U.S. Department of State (DOS) with concern about the challenge this situation posed for J-1 physicians. Earlier this week, DOS confirmed that SSA field offices continue to accommodate “dire need” in-person appointments as necessary. DOS expressed confidence that J-1 physicians can use the dire need provision “most successfully.” ECFMG|FAIMER advises that J-1 physicians pursue this option and apply for SSA appointments through dire need.
