Overview
The GME office maintains pager information for all house staff. It is critical that there is accurate and timely issue of the pager.
Pager Assignment Process
- Program Coordinators are responsible to assign pagers to incoming house staff.
- The house officer’s name and pager number should be provided to the Satellink Office, smoore@aquiscommunications.com and to the Office of Graduate Medical Education, gme.office@vumc.org. Other notifications should be determined by the Department and sent accordingly.
- This assignment should be made and received by GME and Satellink no later than June 1 for the traditional July 1 appointment.
- If the newly assigned pager was previously in use, again contact the Satellink Office to have the generic greeting reset.
Resident Pager Issue
- The Coordinator reassigns pagers to incoming house staff.
- If replacement or additional pagers are needed, the coordinator should contact GME for approval by email, gme.office@vumc.org.
- After approval and issue of the pager, the coordinator will receive an email that the pager is ready for pick up at the Satellink Office located at D-2103 MCN (in conjunction with Valet Services).
Resident Pager Retrieval
- When a resident has completed his residency training the coordinator should collect the pager in order to reissue to an incoming resident.
- It is at the discretion of the program coordinator to allow the resident to keep his original pager as he moves into a Vanderbilt fellowship or Vanderbilt faculty position. If this is allowed, the Department will be responsible for any expenses associated with transferring or purchasing a replacement pager as well as the administrative tasks.
Clinical Fellow Pager Issue
Clinical Fellow Pager issue and purchase is the responsibility of the Department.
