Clinical Orientation is a blended learning experience that includes both online and in-person sessions. All new licensed and non-licensed clinical staff who have direct patient care responsibilities will have assignments. All clinical associates will have recorded modules assigned to them through the Learning Exchange and will have 30 days to complete them. If not finished by 30 days, associates will not be allowed to work. For additional concerns or questions contact VWCH education department, VWCHeducation@vumc.org.
