Forms and Information to Submit
New Fellow Information Sheet
This information is collected in order to create your Yale University profile, set-up your 'yale.edu' email, and establish your HR/payroll record. Your fellowship coordinator should have already been in touch with you about this form. If you haven't already done so, please complete it and submit it to your fellowship coordinator (see contacts tab).
Yale University Background Checks
The University will be conducting a background check on all University-paid fellows before you begin your training. In order for us to start that process, we need a current email address. Your fellowship coordinator should have already been in touch with you about this matter. If you haven't already done so, please submit your email address to your fellowship coordinator (see contacts tab).
Once the background check process has been initiated, you will be contacted directly by the company, HireRight, Inc. When completing the background check form, for education, please list only your medical school.
Forms To Be Completed After You Arrive
You will receive hard copies of these forms during orientation and will be asked to fill them out during one of your orientation sessions. If you are able to complete these forms ahead of time and bring them to orientation, that would be very much appreciated (and will save time during orientation). The forms are below.

Health Benefits
If you are a University-paid fellow, you will be informed of the options for health benefits during orientation and directed on how to sign up for them online. If you have general questions about health care options that you would like to have answered before you arrive, please contact the Employee Service Center at 203.432.5552 or employee.services@yale.edu.
Hint: When asked what your job title is, answer “Other Academic.” This is your title for purposes of health benefits. If you still have questions you can always contact Emily Johnson.
