Clearance anticipation: Clearance can be quick. Once the Privileges have been approved, approximately 1 month after complete correct packet has been submitted, they will ask for a start date. Security will fingerprint, and after fingerprints have cleared, (approx 1 week) they will then request a start date. Most of the security process will occur on the 1st day. Onboarding is slow to start due to needing government approval for access to charting and email. Once you receive access you have shadowing with another provider and then start seeing patients but build up slowly to a full template.

Workflow: Day starts at 7:25 am with clinic safety huddle. 0800 is start of patient visits with 16-17 visits in a day some days less. There is a mix of in person and virtual screenings. Pace is steady but there is plenty of time to get your work done and some leeway if some patients take a more time than expected.
