PGY-1 onboarding checklist template, filled in for your program

Every incoming milestone dated by counting back from your own July 1: licences, certifications, signed agreements, orientation and the first day of duty.

Coordinators also call this an intern onboarding checklist, or a new resident onboarding checklist, or an incoming class to-do list. It is the same document.

Questions

What is in the file
Every onboarding milestone with a real due date, counted back from your academic year start. License, ACLS/BLS, background check, drug screen, modules and contracts. A J-1 and H-1B lane for international incoming residents. Orientation week and the first day of clinical duty. It downloads as Word (.docx) and Excel (.xlsx), which Google Docs and Google Sheets also open.
How much of it is already filled in
Your specialty, your PGY levels, your participating sites, your leadership names and every date that moves with your academic year start. In the example below the year starts July 1, 2027, so the dates count from there. Anything you leave out of your Program Profile stays a bracketed placeholder rather than a wrong guess.
Do you store resident data
No. The Program Profile holds program-level facts only. Resident names and files stay in your own documents on your own drive. This is a document generator, not a system of record.
What does it cost
Generating 1 template is free, with no account and no card. After that Onboarding & Credentialing is $39, one payment, permanent access, or the Full Library is $99, one payment, permanent access. A refund inside 14 days is issued without questions.
