This will be automatically assigned to new regular staff employees with an FTE of 0.5 or greater. Hiring managers are responsible for registering their new employee for UKHC New Employee Orientation. Beyond orientation, your individual work area will have additional requirements that you must fulfill for your specific job.  New policies or changes in systems or practices will require other training not listed here. Please note, newly hired Advanced Practice Providers should attend our New Provider Orientation, and do not need to attend our New Employee Orientation.
