Congratulations on your acceptance into a Baylor College of Medicine residency or fellowship program! The Graduate Medical Education Office welcomes you on this exciting new journey.
Once you have matched with Baylor College of Medicine, and your appropriate program, you will receive a MedHub login email, along with your onboarding packet. This will be received at a later date, after you have matched with BCM.
From this point on, your program coordinator is your first point of contact and the program specific expert during your time with BCM! During the onboarding process, and in filling out your MedHub packet if you run into any issues, please reach out to your PC for assistance.
Please note some resources that are here for you:
Human Resources
In addition to the GME forms, Baylor’s Human Resources department requires you to complete page 7 section 1 of the I-9 form prior to orientation. This information will be specified in your onboarding packet, and the GME team and your PC will send out appropriate information when the time comes.
Bring the following items with you to orientation in order to process with HR: page 7, a copy of your documents of choice (view page 9) and the original documents so that Human Resources may verify that the information and copies are completed correctly.
- Employment Eligibility Verification (Form I-9)
- Acceptable Forms of Identification (page 9 of I-9)
- New Hire EEO Form

Malpractice/Risk Management Office
Through Baylor College of Medicine's Self-Insurance Program, house staff receive free professional liability insurance coverage in limits that exceed $1 million per occurrence and $3 million in the aggregate.
