Onboarding:

If you decide to pursue one of our rotation opportunities, please be aware of a few atypical and important onboarding requirements:

Credentialing Application: Each of our hospitals requires a credentialing application and supporting documentation. You will be assigned an onboarding checklist specifically for this purpose if required.

Pennsylvania Physician Training License: Residents rotating in Pennsylvania must have a Training License. Guthrie’s GME Office will initiate the application on your behalf. You will be asked to reimburse Guthrie for the cost of the training license prior to the start of your rotation. Please be advised that training license applications are time sensitive and a rotation cannot start until this license has been issued.

Rotation Request Process:

The first step in requesting a visiting rotation here at Guthrie is to put in your request using the link below:
