Welcome to UCI Health!

An important part of the onboarding process is complete all of the following:

  • Submission of all required pre-employment health exams and clearances
  • Verification of American Health Association (AHA) certifications
  • Obtain your ID badge
  • Familiarize yourself with the parking permit purchasing process for your location
  • Uniform ordering (complete online during the first week of employment)

SCHEDULE YOUR PRE-EMPLOYMENT HEALTH CLEARANCE EXAMINATION

Every new UCI Health co-worker is required to complete a pre-employment health examination for clearance purposes prior to your first day of work. If you will be working at UCI Health – Orange, UCI Health – Irvine, or any of our ambulatory locations, please use the links below to schedule an appointment at the Occupational Health Office at UCI Health – Orange or Occupational Health at Gottschalk Medical Plaza on the UC Irvine campus.

If you are being hired for one of our Community Network hospitals (Fountain Valley, Lakewood, Los Alamitos or Placentia Linda), please contact your local Human Resources team or local Employee Health team for instructions on how to schedule individual onboarding appointments.
