Physician Onboarding

Depending on your position you may require additional on-boarding. Learn more below.

Memorial Hermann requires that all employees complete a background check and a pre-employment health screening as first steps in the onboarding process. The background check and the pre-employment health screening occur at the same time and determine your employment eligibility. You cannot move forward in the onboarding process until BOTH are complete.

Background Check

Employee Health – New Hire Service Center

Employee Health – LabCorp (Out of Market)
Employee Health – LabCorp (Local)
Employee Health – LabCorp (Remote)

Your role may require licenses and certifications as minimum qualifications and/or to meet regulatory requirements. You must provide copies of these prior to scheduling your first day at Memorial Hermann.

Onboarding Tour

During the onboarding process, you will receive access to Guardian/LawLogix to complete Section 1 of the Form I-9.

You will receive two emails from LawLogix instructing you to complete Section 1 of the Form I-9, which is required by the federal government. You’ll also find links to information about important documents you need to submit to complete Section 2 and prove your identity and authorization to work in the U.S. Be prepared ahead of time! Be sure to have completed your part of the Form I-9 online and make sure you bring the correct federally required documentation. Visit the official government website to see examples of acceptable documents. Section 2 of the Form I-9 must be completed within three business days of your start date. Please note: Memorial Hermann does not participate in the electronic program E-Verify. At the time in which you may need to renew your work authorization documentation, we will be unable to provide you an E-Verify number.
