Residency Program Paperwork

Dear Graduating Class,

We are excited about your Match and will assist in your planning for residency with a few tips on what may be required.

BLS/ACLS Certification. Most GME programs have BLS/ACLS/PALS/etc built into residency orientation. If your program does not provide this, you may contact Dale Bailey and Penny Purvis at info@cprwithdale.com and ppurvis@ecuhealth.org to arrange individual re-certification. Your current certifications expire in April. In years past the seniors have arranged to re-certify as a group during Transition to Residency part B.

Email Account. Your ECU email account will remain active for 4 months following graduation when it will be converted to an ECU alumni email address. ITCS will send you an email about two weeks before this happens, so that you can prepare.

Immunizations. Log in at ECU Student Health Services ‘myPIRATEchart’ to print out your record. Your ability to access your records through this link will deactivate after graduation, so be sure to do it prior to graduation.

Notary Services. Our registrar, Gaye Tennison, is a Notary and is glad to witness your signature when required for official documents. See your email for updates from Ms. Tennison.

Photos. If you need an electronic copy of your Brody headshot, contact Carmilla Oden (odenc23@ecu.edu).

Step Scores. Programs typically ask for original reports, which can be obtained by contacting the NBME directly. OSA does not have an electronic copy of your score report!

Final Transcripts. Final transcripts showing the ‘date of degree completion’ cannot be sent to residency programs until all grades have been received. You can help by reviewing your information in VidaNova to see if each course grade has been submitted. If grades are missing, contact the course director/preceptor (whether here or at an away site) and ask them to submit your final grade. If the preceptor has not received a grade request, OSA can resend it to them. Be sure to finish your online coursework as soon as possible.

Verification forms. Send your forms to Gaye Tennison (tennisong19@ecu.edu). She will prepare them ahead of time for release to your program the week following graduation. Please note that NO paperwork will be released until AFTER graduation.
