Host institutions vary in their requirements for visiting students. You may be asked for some, all, or one of the following:
| REQUIREMENT | HOW TO MEET REQUIREMENT |
|---|---|
| Compliance Requirements: Background Check Basic Life Support (BLS) Drug Testing HIPAA Training Mask Fit OSHA Training | Some institutions request compliance documents be uploaded directly by UWSOM. The Compliance department will monitor and upload documentation on your behalf that is required from UWSOM automatically. Some institutions request that you upload your own compliance documents. If so, go to your eValue personal record to locate these documents and upload. You may also download documents from your Castlebranch UW71 Compliance Tracker or your UX54 Immunizations Tracker accounts. Questions? somcompl@uw.edu |
| Curriculum Vitae (CV) | Review the Career Advising CV resources and make updates using the template provided. |
| Evaluation Form | If a host institution requires us to upload a UWSOM evaluation form, email somreg@uw.edu to have us upload a blank UWSOM evaluation form to your VSLO account. |
| Immunizations | If you need to upload your immunization record: Follow the instructions here. See the FAQ section under "Immunization Records are required for my clinical site/employer/provider. How do I obtain a copy?" Communicate with the Health Sciences Immunization Program (HSIP) at myshots@uw.edu if you need to update any records in your CastleBranch accounts. If you need us to sign a form: Fill out your name/clerkship info on the form, then email the PDF to somcompl@uw.edu. SOM Compliance will verify by accessing your CastleBranch account, sign the form, and return the form to you. |
| Letter of Good Standing (LOGS) | For LOGS requests from a VSLO institution that SOM needs to upload: We are usually automatically notified of the need for this in VSLO and will upload as requested. For LOGS you upload -or- LOGS for nonVSLO programs: Email somreg@uw.edu with the addressee name, title, physical address, and email. |
| Letter of Recommendation (LOR) | Complete a Request for Letter of Recommendation and give it to your letter writer. |
| Personal Health Insurance | Since UWSOM does not require personal health insurance, you will need to provide that proof if requested by a host institution. |
| Personal Statement/Statement of Interest | Review Career Advising's personal statement resources for assistance. |
| Transcript Note: Want us to upload an updated transcript? Follow the same steps. | Order an electronic official transcript. Once logged in to Parchment (the service that provides UW transcripts), set the Delivery Destination as follows: 1. Click "I'm sending to myself or another individual" 2. Select the icon for "Electronic: Delivered by Email" 3. Enter recipient information as follows: >>>> UWSOM >>>> somreg@uw.edu >>>> somreg@uw.edu 4. Click continue. SOM Registration will upload your transcript once we receive it. IMPORTANT: Do not order a printed and mailed transcript as these cannot be legibly uploaded. Tip: Check your unofficial transcript FIRST to ensure it is accurate and up to date. |
| USMLE Step Score Report | Some programs will accept the score report that you received from the NBME. If they require an official score report transcript from the NBME, visit the USMLE website for instructions. Note: We are prohibited by the NBME from reporting/releasing scores. |
