Frequently Asked Questions

1) What paperwork do I need to complete prior to my first day of orientation or first day of work?
Prior to orientation and your first day of work, you should have completed the pre-hire screening process and submitted all completed paperwork through the New Team Member Onboarding Hub.
2) What is a pre-placement medical exam?  
The pre-placement medical exam is required of all our team members and includes drug testing. Once the offer of employment has been accepted, your HR representative will schedule your appointment with Employee Health Services (EHS). EHS is located in the West Hospital-1200 E. Broad Street, 1st floor, room 115. Please enter from Broad Street. Click here for directions. You’ll also need to take your completed immunization record form to your appointment. You may want to contact your current or previous employee health department to request a copy of immunization records.
*Note: It is very important that you report for your appointment at the scheduled time. Arriving after your scheduled time or rescheduling the appointment more than once will result in your offer of employment being withdrawn.

Drug Testing

Once you have completed the pre-placement medical exam, you will go directly to the Outpatient Testing Lab located in the Gateway Building, 1200 East Marshall Street, 1st Floor, unless otherwise instructed.
At the laboratory admissions desk, please tell the receptionist you are there for a pre-placement drug screen. You will be asked to present a picture ID and sign a consent form.

3) Where do I park on my first day?
Where you park on the first day will vary depending on the location of orientation. However, information about the location of orientation and instructions for parking can be found in your offer letter.
4) Where will I park after my first day?
You should sign up for parking prior to the first day of orientation.
Parking is pre-assigned based on several factors. While we do our best to arrange parking near your building, it is not possible to guarantee parking within walking distance of your work site. VCU operates shuttle buses to parking lots and decks. Most shuttles run on 10 to 15 minute intervals.
Team members working in the evening or overnight may also use the campus security Escort Service offered through the VCU Police department. These security escorts provide safe transportation to your vehicle within the vicinity of the downtown medical campus during evening, overnight and early morning hours. Representatives from VCU Parking and VCU Police will discuss parking and campus safety during orientation.
While you are not required to subscribe to VCU parking, please be advised that other parking options are limited near our downtown campus. Team members are not permitted to valet or park in the Patient and Visitors Parking Deck unless they are on personal time off for an appointment.
For more information, contact VCU Parking and Transportation at (804) 828-PARK (7275). The parking office is located on the Medical Campus at 659 N. 8th Street, Richmond, VA., 23298, (You may also click to view the VCU Parking and Transportation website.
