INTRODUCTION
In order to provide patient care at UCSF Medical Center, San Francisco General Hospital, and San Francisco
VA Medical Center, all residents, clinical fellows, and non-MD trainees in the School of Medicine must be
appointed through the Office of Graduate Medical Education (OGME). The majority of UCSF trainees are
appointed for June/July start dates.
There are two systems that are central to the appointment process: UCMe and E*Value. All appointment
paperwork is completed and submitted in UCMe. E*Value, the UCSF GME management system, serves as
the database of record for all GME training at UCSF. Access to both systems may be obtained from the
Office of GME.
All paperwork and appointment requirements are reviewed and revised annually and made available by the
beginning of February for the following academic year.
This manual provides information on how to appoint a UCSF trainee as well as appointment-related policies
and regulations. While the majority of paperwork is automatically populated based on the information
entered by both the program administrator and trainee in UCMe, samples of the individual forms and details
about what each form requires are provided to guide the program administrator.
All paperwork should be submitted in accordance with the appropriate deadlines as described below and as
complete as possible. Program administrators may submit incomplete packets if the missing documentation
is a medical license, PTAL, and/or visa.
Main Appointment Season Process
For appointment season (February through July) there are three rolling deadlines to submit paperwork to
OGME and complete the E*Value entry (please see the OGME website for deadlines). OGME will send the
program administrator a spreadsheet documenting what is complete and what is missing in both the packet
and E*Value within two weeks of the deadline. Program administrators have two weeks to submit missing
documentation through UCMe to OGME. Anything not submitted by this date is considered late. OGME
receives approximately 1,500 appointment packets during this time and cannot guarantee that trainees will
start on time if the packet or materials are not submitted by the assigned appointment deadlines.
In order to comply with UCSF GME policy, all continuing appointments must be initiated in UCMe at least
four months prior to reappointment date. For June/July start dates, this is no later than February 28th.
Off-Cycle Appointment Process
For off-cycle appointments, all paperwork must be submitted to OGME through UCMe at least one month
prior to the scheduled start date. If the packet is submitted less than one month before the start date, OGME
cannot guarantee the trainee will start on time. After the program administrator submits the packet, OGME
will review the packet and E*Value. OGME will work with the program administrator until the paperwork
and E*Value are approved. In order to comply with UCSF GME due process policy, all continuing
appointments must be initiated in UCMe at least four months prior to reappointment date.
1
Appointment Process
1. The program administrator initiates the paperwork in UCMe. After the required information has been
entered, an email is sent to the trainee notifying him/her to complete the paperwork. Detailed
instructions for how to use UCMe may be found at http://meded.ucsf.edu/gme
2. The trainee completes the paperwork and submits it through UCMe to the program administrator.
The program administrator works with the trainee as necessary to complete the paperwork.
3. The program administrator prints the documentation from UCMe that requires programmatic
signatures.
4. The program administrator has the program director review and sign the contract letter and
attestation.
5. The program administrator has the department chair sign the contract letter.
6. The program administrator uploads the signed documents back into UCMe.
7. The program administrator enters the trainee biographic information into E*Value.
8. The program administrator submits the packet through UCMe to the Office of GME (OGME).
9. OGME reviews the paperwork and E*Value entry and works with the program coordinator until both
are complete and approved.
10. Once the packet is complete:
a. New: OGME will order a background check. Once the background check is cleared, OGME
will assign a provider ID for trainees who have competencies and email the provider ID to the
program coordinator.
b. Continuing: OGME updates the trainee’s competencies as necessary in Echo.
Please note, the UCSF Medical Staff Office assigns provider IDs for non-ACGME fellows with privileges.
Program administrators should call the Medical Staff Office for these provider IDs.
New and Continuing Paperwork
Trainees are appointed annually either as new or continuing. New trainees have never been appointed in a
UCSF GME program. UCSF medical students, UCSF postdocs, etc. being appointed to a UCSF GME
program for the first time are considered new. Continuing trainees have been appointed to a UCSF GME
program in the past, either in the same program or in another program. For example, a current UCSF resident
becoming a UCSF clinical fellow in the next academic year would be considered a continuing appointment.
The exception to this rule is if there has been more than a year since the trainee’s previous UCSF program
ended and a new packet will be required.
APeX Access
APeX access will be granted automatically a few days after the provider ID is issued for new trainees with
competencies (program coordinators should not request APeX access from IT or through the ARF system).
For non-ACGME fellows with privileges, APeX access is only granted once it has been requested by the
program through an ARF.
Residents and fellows must complete the required online APeX training prior to starting their first rotations
at UCSF. Training modules are available on the UCSF learning management system
(https://learningcenter.ucsfmedicalcenter.org). Once a trainee has been entered into E*Value and has a UCSF
employee ID number, he/she may access the learning management system and take any required training
modules, including those for APeX.

CHECKLIST
•
•
•
•
The checklist is the coversheet of every packet submitted.
All of the information must be filled out at the top of the checklist (i.e. Trainee Name, Program
Name, PGY, Salary, Program Coordinator, and Program Director).
Check off all of the documents included in the packet.
Packets should be complete at the time of submission, with the exception of licenses, PTALs and
visas. If any documents are missing, comments should be included in the notes section.
CONTRACT LETTER
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Contract letter templates are updated each year by OGME and are automatically generated in UCMe.
Only approved templates may be used, but if additional information is required, an addendum may be
written, signed, and uploaded to UCMe as an additional document.
The following templates are available in UCMe:
o Continuing Contract Letter, ABMS Fellow
o Continuing Contract Letter, ACGME Resident
o Continuing Contract Letter, ACGME Fellow
o Continuing Contract Letter, Non-ACGME Fellow
o New Contract Letter, ABMS Fellow
o New Contract Letter, ACGME Resident
o New Contract Letter, ACGME Fellow
o New Contract Letter, Non-ACGME Fellow
Letters for continuing residents and fellows must be initiated in UCMe and sent to trainees at
least four months prior to reappointment date. For June/July start dates, this is no later than
February 28th. The contract letter must be submitted to OGME with the appointment packet.
Use salaries for the current academic year (i.e. for June/July 2014 start date, the 2013-2014 salary
scales would be used). Salary scales can be found on the OGME website and will be automatically
populated in UCMe.
Electronic signatures are not allowed. Documents must be printed from UCMe, signed by hand, and
then uploaded back into the system.
The program director and chair sign the contract letter after the trainee has signed the contract and
completed the attestation. This allows for the program director to review the attestation prior to
signing the contract letter, making the offer official.
Postgraduate year (PGY) is based on the training required to be in the program as well as the number
of years a trainee has completed. All trainees in the same year of the program must have the same
PGY year.
o For example: Pediatric cardiology (requires the completion of a three year pediatric
residency)
 First year fellows always start pediatric cardiology as PGY4s.
• Fast trackers have completed two years of pediatrics residency and start
pediatric cardiology as PGY4s.
• Someone who has completed a chief resident year prior to starting fellowship
would have completed three years of pediatrics residency plus one year as a
chief resident and will start pediatric cardiology as a PGY4.

Example of Yes Answer Explanations
In response to Question 3:
Are you aware of any malpractice claims currently pending/under investigation against you?
Yes, I was named in a malpractice claim in 2009. I was a PGY 1, Pediatrics resident, in the Emergency Room. A 6-year-old child slipped on a wet floor without a
yellow caution sign around in the Emergency Room and broke their leg. The patient’s mother decided to sue everyone involved in the Emergency Room. The
lawyer for the University of Michigan has informed me that my name will be removed from the claim, since I was a resident. I have not heard anything about the
case since being notified of the lawsuit.
In response to Question 11:
Have there been any, or are there any, misdemeanor or felony criminal convictions against you, or charges pending against you, including those under the
Criminal Control Act?
I received a DUI after attending my best friend’s wedding in the summer of 2002 in Arizona. Since the incident, I attended all court hearings and participated in
the required 20 hours of community service. I take full responsibility for my actions and have not driven a car after consuming any alcohol.

UCSF COMMUNICABLE DISEASE PREVENTION PROGRAM
Employee Fact Sheet
OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE TO HEPATITIS B VIRUS (HBV)
HEPATITIS B: Hepatitis B is a viral infection of the liver caused by Hepatitis B virus (HBV). About 1.25 million people in
the U.S. have chronic Hepatitis B virus infection. Each year approximately 300,000 new infections are reported to the
Center for Disease Control. Most people who become infected with Hepatitis B recover completely, but 5 to I0% will
become chronic carriers of the virus. Although many chronic carriers do not have symptoms of the disease, they are
capable of transmitting the virus to other persons, primarily through blood exposures or sexual contact. Each year 4,000
to 5,000 persons die from chronic Hepatitis B.
OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE: In the hospital and university setting, health care workers with direct patient contact,
laboratory workers and researchers with blood or body fluid contact are at increased risk for acquiring the Hepatitis B
virus. An unvaccinated individual who receives an accidental blood or body fluid exposure from an infected source has a
40% chance of becoming infected with Hepatitis B. Each year in the U.S., more than 9,000 health care workers contract
Hepatitis B, and of those, 300 will die of liver-related disease.
VACCINATION: Becoming infected with Hepatitis B is preventable. The Hepatitis B vaccine, a synthetic vaccine made

the vaccine will last and the need for additional vaccinations has not been determined. Health care workers who are
immunocompromised or on dialysis might require increased doses of vaccine in order to convert to positive antibodies.
The incidence of side effects is very low. A few people experience tenderness and redness at the injection site. A low
grade fever may occur. Rash, nausea, joint pain and mild fatigue have also been reported.
TREATMENT OF EXPOSURE: If the individual has received the Hepatitis B vaccine and has documented antibodies to
HBV, no further treatment is necessary at the time of exposure. However, someone who is not protected by the vaccine
and does not have antibodies to HBV, needs to receive HBIG (Hepatitis B Immunoglobulin) as soon as possible after the
exposure. These persons are also encouraged to receive the Hepatitis B vaccine at this time.
UCSF has a 24-hour EXPOSURE HOTLINE for anyone who has a blood or body fluid exposure. Anyone with an
exposure at Parnassus should call 415-353-7842 (STIC). If you have any questions about Hepatitis B or the
Hepatitis B vaccine, call Employee and Occupational Health Services at (415) 885-7580.
Please sign and return this form IF YOU HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE HEPATITIS B VACCINE AND
CHOOSE NOT TO BE VACCINATED.
HEPATITIS B VACCINATION DECLINATION
I understand that due to my occupational exposure to blood or other potentially infectious materials, I
may be at risk of acquiring Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. I have been given the opportunity to be
vaccinated with Hepatitis B vaccine at no charge to myself. However, I decline Hepatitis B vaccination at
this time. I understand that by declining this vaccine, I continue to be at risk of acquiring Hepatitis B, a
serious disease. If in the future I continue to have occupational exposure to blood or other potentially
infectious materials and I want to be vaccinated with Hepatitis B vaccine, I can receive the vaccination
series at no charge to me.

COMPETENCIES or PRIVILEGES and Non-ACGME Fellows
Every trainee must have either competencies or privileges.
Competencies
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Competencies are a Joint Commission requirement for ACGME/ABMS trainees and non-ACGME
fellows with an exception to the concurrent clinical instructor without salary appointment and
privileges.
Competencies are a list of procedures determined by the program director, that a trainee may do
without direct supervision on the first day of that year of training.
Competencies are uploaded to each trainee’s file in UCMe by the program administrator.
To request or edit the competencies for a program or to create new competencies, contact the Office
GME.
Trainees should not cross things out or add procedures.
All competencies must be submitted annually signed and dated by BOTH the trainee and the program
director.
Central Venous Line Competencies
o Trainees must submit separate central venous line form in order to be granted the competency
of inserting and removing central venous line catheters. This form must be submitted
annually.
o The online training module can be found on the UCSF Learning Center.
o Once the program director believes the trainee has fulfilled the requirements, the program
coordinator has the program director and trainee sign the competency form and then submits
it to OGME.
o The program director must initial next to the approved competencies. Please leave all
unapproved competencies blank.
o This form must be hand-delivered to OGME and have wet signatures and dates from
both the trainee and program director.
o If a trainee has been deemed competent in a prior program, the program director of that
program can attest to the current program director that the trainee is competent. The trainee
must still complete the online module and submit the form to OGME.
Non-ACGME/Non-ABMS Clinical Fellows
Non-ACGME/non-ABMS fellows are required to have:
o Clinical fellow appointment (GME);
o Clinical instructor without salary appointment (Academic Affairs)
 Include proof in GME appointment packet (i.e. printout from Advance, Chair’s letter,
email from HR, screenshot from OLPPS, etc.); and
o Faculty privileges (Medical Staff Office) at all sites in which the trainee will rotate.
• These must be in place prior to the start date or the trainee will be unable to work.
14
Non-ACGME Exception
•
•
•
•
Exceptions may be requested from OGME to the concurrent faculty appointment and privileges for
those trainees who will function and be supervised like ACGME/ABMS trainees.
Trainees who are on a J-1 visa require an exception from OGME to the concurrent faculty
appointment and privileges.
When requesting an exception to the faculty appointment and privilege requirement, include an
exception letter from the program director as well as signed competencies in the appointment packet.
Those granted an exception will have to submit competencies instead.
Sample Non-ACGME Exception Letter
To Whom It May Concern,
XXX, MD will be a non-ACGME fellow in the Department of XXX and should be exempt from the
credentialing process because he will function as a trainee and his/her clinical work will be supervised by an
attending.
The fellow will adhere to all requirements and restrictions of his ECFMG J1 visa, as well as competencies
approved by his training program director, XXX, MD.
Sincerely,
XXXX
Program Director
XXX
Trainee
15
VISA
•
•
•
Visa documentation must be submitted as applicable through UCMe.
Please provide a copy of the DS 2019 for J-1 visas and form I 797 for H-1B visas in the appointment
packet. The approval dates on the form must cover the dates of the appointment.
Do not submit copies of driver’s licenses or SSN cards in OGME appointment packets.
ECFMG CERTIFICATE
•
•
A copy of the ECFMG certificate is required for all international medical school graduates (except
graduates from Canadian medical schools).
This certificate must be uploaded to E*Value (Training Tab), appropriate E*Value fields completed,
and submitted in the appointment packet.
16
E*VALUE ENTRY
General Requirements for E*Value
E*Value entry must be completed prior to submitting the appointment packet through UCMe to OGME. Do
not submit any E*Value documentation in the packet (i.e. screen shots). Biographic data may be entered
manually for each individual trainee or for multiple trainees via the annual ERAS data upload. OGME
facilitates the ERAS data import into E*Value in March after the Main Residency Match in March. OGME
will send an email to residency program administrators with details on how to complete this process. Please
note, the ERAS upload does not account for all data fields and program administrators will need to review
each profile as well as enter any additional information.
All fields on the E*Value checklist are required unless otherwise noted. Missing fields will delay
appointment approval.
New Trainees in E*Value
Even though a trainee may be considered new to UCSF GME, he/she may already have a profile in E*Value.
For example, if he/she was a UCSF medical student; visited a UCSF training program as short-term visitor;
or was a trainee at another institution. It is important to not create duplicate profiles in E*Value. Profiles of
trainees must be searched in the institution list and must include inactive users. Please account for name
changes, misspelled names, and other variables that may cause a profile search to return no users. Continuing
trainees will already have a profile in E*Value. If you discover you inadvertently created a duplicate
account, please notify GMEEvalue@ucsf.edu
To check if a trainee exists in E*Value:
1. Log into the incoming program of the trainee for the upcoming appointment season.
2. Under Profile Manager, select “Profiles,” then select Biographic Data.
3. Once in Biographic Data choose Fill list from… “Your Institution.” Don’t forget to check the
box “Return Inactive Users.” Enter the trainee’s last name.
4. If the trainee does not appear in the search, repeat step 3, with name changes or misspelled
names. If the trainee still does not appear in the search, then create a new profile. Click “Add
New User” and enter the trainee information in the required fields on the Biographic Data Tab
and hit “SAVE.
5. If the trainee does appear in the search, the program coordinator will need to request a Home
Program change through E*Value or by emailing the GME E*Value Help
Desk GMEEvalue@medsch.ucsf.edu
