Medical Clearance
All students who will physically work at an onsite MSK location for one or more days must be medically cleared by our Employee Health office. To complete this requirement, you’ll need to schedule a physical exam with your personal doctor, your school’s health office, or any other outside clinic/provider. It is critical that you schedule this appointment as soon as possible, as this requirement can take about 3 weeks, start to finish.
Your Onboarding Coordinator will provide you with the paperwork that you need to bring to your appointment to be completed by the physician.
Please click here for more instructions on how to complete this requirement.
Any questions, please contact your Onboarding Coordinator or email onboarding@mskcc.org.
l9 Work Eligibility Verification
By law, all new hires must prove that they are eligible to work in the United States.
To complete this requirement, you’ll need to schedule and attend a virtual appointment with an HR representative to present hard copies of your unexpired work eligibility documents.
For more information and what documentation you’ll need to provide please click here.
You will receive a “Welcome” email from your Onboarding Coordinator which includes a link to self-schedule your virtual I-9 appointment. When scheduling, please choose “Onboarding” in the drop down option of staff and choose a date/time as soon as possible that works for your schedule to avoid a delay in your start date. Your appointment should be scheduled no later than 1 week prior to your start date. Any questions, reach out to your Onboarding Coordinator or email onboarding@mskcc.org.

First Day of Work
Your hiring manager will let you know instructions for your first day of work. Please reach out to them if you are unsure of where to go on your start date.
On your first day, you’ll receive an email from infosec@mskcc.org to “claim your MSK account”. Please follow the instructions in the email in order to activate your MSK login credentials. This is the very first task to complete on your first day and will allow you to access all relevant MSK systems, including your MSK email account.
If you are going to be working onsite at one of our MSK locations, you will need to pick up your photo ID badge. Please coordinate a time with your manager to pick up your badge at the Security Office at 1275 York Ave in Manhattan.
