Before you arrive
at Duke Health

Though each team member’s tasks may differ slightly, some standard tasks for new team members include:
 

When you have an offer:

• Check your email for a message from HireRight, our third-party vendor. Follow the link to complete your background check with HireRight. During this process, you will also be able to submit your licensure and education documents (if applicable).

• You will be contacted by a recruiting coordinator to schedule an appointment with Duke’s Employee Occupational Health & Wellness team to complete tasks that include providing proof of immunity to several communicable diseases and completing a drug screen.

• Provide proof of or receive the influenza vaccine or a Duke approved medical or religious exemption. The COVID-19 vaccination is no longer a requirement for team members, but Duke Health strongly recommends getting up-to-date vaccinations against COVID-19, especially for those with conditions that place them at higher risk.

• Once you have cleared the background check and completed the Employee Health appointment, you will receive an email that your onboarding has been initiated. You will be expected to complete important documents, including your direct deposit information and you will begin your I-9 form.

• You will receive additional email communication from the HR team at your assigned Duke Health location and/or manager on location-specific documents and new hire paperwork.
