Central Introduction Programme UMC Utrecht/ e-learning for English speaking employees

Our hospital is all about people: patients, students and colleagues. We wish to offer the best care in a safe and high quality environment to our patients. Every employee makes his/her own contribution to this goal. The UMC Utrecht is of the opinion that all employees should be uniformly informed and instructed about working at the UMC Utrecht. That is why all new employees follow a compulsory central introduction programme and a training programme with their own department.

For our English speaking new employees we have created an E-learning ‘Quality and Safety’ as a central introduction and there is a subsequent decentralized training programme with the department or division. The E-learning and the decentralized training programme constitute a unity.For some functions a recruitment medical test is compulsory. If this applies to your function, Gezondenveiligwerken@umcutrecht.nl  will invite you for a recruitment medical test. If you refuse to be tested or if the test outcome results in a negative advice, the appointment process will be aborted.

All new employees, volunteers, trainees and external staff follow the central introduction programme. The HRM Service Centre will invite you. For English speaking employees the e-learning modules can be accessed through the learning portal of the UMC Utrecht, called Ulearn.

If you have questions on how to log on or you need other information on the learning portal, please contact the helpdesk, helpdesk@umcutrecht.nl (088-755 89 90).

Participation in the central introduction programme is mandatory. After participation in the central introduction programme your UMC Utrecht e-mail account will be activated.

After the central introduction programme, your department has a training programme to further introduce you in the UMC Utrecht. 

Entry examination / recruitment medical test

For some functions an entry examination is desirable. The examination consists of a written questionnaire. Gezondenveiligwerken@umcutrecht.nl will send you this questionnaire.
