CONGRATULATIONS ON THE COMPLETION OF YOUR EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
with UCD Graduate Medical Education!

BEFORE YOU GO, YOU SHOULD KNOW:

As you leave your UCDenver School of Medicine GME training program, you are required to complete the exit procedure. This applies to everyone, including residents who will become faculty. Reading this information will save you time.

  • DO NOT CLOSE YOUR BANK ACCOUNT until your last paycheck has cleared. Final paychecks will be direct deposited. If you have additional money due after your last regular paycheck, i.e. internal moonlighting, this will also be direct deposited. To avoid delay in receiving your W2, keep your address updated with Payroll and Benefit Services (303-735-6500, Option #2).

  • ALL INSURANCE BENEFITS END at MIDNIGHT (unless completing a shift) on the ending date of your current CU GME training agreement. You have no "grace period." (If you are not sure of the correct ending date on your agreement, contact your residency/fellowship program coordinator to verify.)
    Health insurance ends.

To obtain the forms necessary to request conversion rates, contact GME Benefits at 303-724-6024.

  • Immunization/PPD records are not maintained with GME and are not accessible at or through the GME Office. You should have your own documentation of these records. You will need it through out your professional career. If you do not have the documentation you previously provided, you may email KJL Healthcare Management, klee80111@gmail.com, to request a copy of your information. Phone requests are not permissible. Your email serves as authorization to provide this information to you. The information will be provided to the resident only (no third parties). Residents who started CU GME training PRIOR to 5/2001 and need immunization records should contact UCH Medical Records Release of Information at 720-848-6214 or 720-848-6253 for instructions.

  • To request proof of malpractice coverage call 303-724-6031 or email the GME office. Proof of coverage will be provided to the resident only (no third parties) via mail, fax or pick-up by the resident at the GME office, Research Bridge Room 1401. (Specify in your request how you want sent.) When applying for a COLORADO license, GME will send directly to the Colorado Board of Medical Examiners, as well as send a copy to your home address for your records. Request for claims history must come directly from, and is provided directly to, the requesting entity.GME does not release your claims history directly to you.

  • Requests for verification of training should be sent directly to the office of your training program director. (GME can verify dates of training, but cannot provide evaluation information.) Give your director's correct address, including campus box number, when completing forms for privileges, etc.

  • GME PARKING PRIVILEGES end on the last day of your training. If you still have a Parking Access Card/Permit, please return it to the Parking Office at Anschutz Medical Campus, Building 500, Ground Level - across from Information Desk. Parking access through GME will be turned off. Information from Parking and Transportation on unpaid citations will be mailed directly to your home address. Please call 303-724-2555 with questions.

  • GME PAGER use ends. Turn in your pager, all ID badges and all other University-issued property to your coordinator, along with your Medical Records & Campus Offices Clearance Form, on your last day of training. Your pager will be turned off.

Residents are NOT eligible for unemployment compensation.

 You will receive a form for MEDICAL RECORDS & CAMPUS OFFICE CLEARANCE from your residency coordinator on or about June 1, so please be on the look out for it. You are required to obtain a sign-off signature from the health information management (medical records) department of each facility (except UCH) where you saw patients during this academic year. On your last day, your final stop will be with your program coordinator, where you will return any university-issued property, e.g. pager, keys, lab coats, UCD ID badge, etc., and submit your clearance form so your coordinator can complete your check out.
