Is that the orientation start day or is it the real start day? I start June 23rd but the week before is orientation.

I thought ALL programs started July 1st... I have not recieved my program info as of yet, but I am certainly not ready to start mid june! I knew orientations started in June, but to actually start working mid june is terrifying. I need those extra weeks... good luck to all of you!

Our orientation is 6/16, start wards on 6/23

I matched at Emory and we start July 1 and orientation is June 24-27.

Our orientation begins June 16th and we officially begin June 20th. This would all be great if my graduation wasn't June 13th. I don't know why my school does stuff so late.

I don't know yet. I'm hoping later rather than earlier to make moving easier, but I'll be there whenever they tell me to! I do know I have ACLS/BCLS training on 6/2, but that's optional and you can do it at another site if you want to.

Well, if you're coming to my neck of the woods:

Hospital wide orientation: June 16-23
Departmental orientation: June 23-27, 30

Good luck everyone!

Welcoming dinner with all the Housestaff 6/20.
Hospital and department orientation 6/23 - 6/27.
You're ON! 6/27 or 6/30, depending if you're on days or nights...

We started mid June. Also, be sure to clarify with your program when you actually are officially starting (meaning employment instead of working) - I found out too late that we officially started July 1 even though we started working 6/22 in hospital - they do this weird thing where the 4th years get paid through July 1 even though they stopped working mid-June. It was a headache because we didn't get benefits coverage until July 1 and we didn't realize we didn't get a paycheck until late July. It was chaotic - my son had some medical issues that needed to be taken care of in that last week of June that I didn't have insurance coverage for. I thought it was just our program being weird, but from the looks of this thread, it's more prevalent.
