Section 1- Getting Situated

Welcome to Section 1- Beginning your Onboarding!

This section walks you through items that you need to do to get oriented to the Medical Center. Please review these in their entirety.

  • Pick up your BIDMC ID Badge from BIDMC Public Safety
  • Your supervisor or a member of your research team should have submitted an Information Systems Access Request to receive BIDMC credentials to log-in to your BIDMC email and access your trainings. Please ask them for your BIDMC email and login credentials if they do not provide them to you when you begin.  
    • If you have any trouble receiving your BIDMC ID Badge, or are still unable to receive your credentials, please reach out to Ethan Selinger, Program Director for the BIDMC Office of Student Engagement and Experience (OSEE).
    • Changing your BIDMC email password- once you receive your credentials, you can change your temporary password. 
      • If you are off-site, you will be limited in your ability to change your password. To change your password, you must reach out to IT, who will provide you with a limited window to change your password. Please reach out to OSEE if you have any issues with this.
  • Request an introductory meeting with your direct supervisor and/or mentor in the Lab (if this person is different than your direct supervisor), if one is not already scheduled. It is recommended that you have, at least, a weekly check-in meeting with your supervisor during your research experience.
    • If you have any trouble communicating with and/or scheduling a meeting with your direct supervisor and/or mentor in the Lab (if this person is different than your direct supervisor), you are expected to reach out to Ethan/OSEE for assistance.
    • During your introductory meeting, begin reviewing the Research Student Onboarding Checklist with your supervisor/mentor.
      • You are expected to carry out the tasks outlined in this checklist within your first week at BIDMC
        • Please note that you can continue moving forward in this Orientation while completing the items on the checklist. The trainings in section 2 of this Orientation are outlined in this checklist

Once you have reviewed this section, and have downloaded the Research Student Onboarding Checklist, you are ready to begin Section 2 - Trainings!
