VA Clearance Paperwork

The following documentation and certification is required for student computer access for ANY VA Internal Medicine rotation (click on link provided below).  Completing this requirement is a professional expectation you have been given.  All completed paperwork needs to be to Ms. Gaines at least 2 weeks before your start date.  No codes will be issued until you have been fingerprinted and the background check results have been received.

Required VA Paperwork for rotations

Everyone is prompted to change their computer codes every 90 days.  As long as the codes are changed and kept up-to-date, the students will not have to have a new computer application completed.  If you have not logged in within 90 days you will be required to complete the entire application process again.

VA Remote Login:

Once you have received clearance to the VA and a computer password you must log on to a VA Computer every 90
days or you will lose access.   Use this link to stay current in the VA system.

Once you click on the link it will bring you to a screen that says "Windows Remote Desktop Web Connect".  A pop up box will appear asking if you trust the computer you are connecting to - answer yes.  This click on the Connect button WITHOUT entering any information into the boxes.  Click "OK" to the agreement.  On the next screen you will type in your VA login name and password and click "OK".  You should then be connected to the VA Computer System.
