Pre-employment Assessment Process

Our pre-employment screening is an on-line comprehensive assessment for certain entry-level positions at UMHS. This assessment takes approximately 15-20 minutes to complete and screens for 9 core competencies which are found to be highly desirable in the healthcare field. The assessment is scored based on five different job families: Nursing, Patient Care, Administrative/Clerical, Technical/Professional, and Entry-Level Service. Within a week of applying, all applicants will receive an email from

HR-Recruitment@med.umich.edu with a link to take the assessment.

Assessments will be required of all of the job classifications that were previously screened by PEP (Pre-employment Program), including:

• Administrative Support
• Entry Level Allied Health
• Office/Clerical
• Service Maintenance

While most jobs at UMHS do require previous experience, the typical entry-level position may not require a degree. For a quick reference and more information about what jobs at UMHS might work for you, visit our classification website.

If you already know which field of healthcare you’re interested in, it’s time to start looking for the college or university that has the courses and/or curriculum needed to reach your goals. A helpful resource while you research is the Michigan Health Council.

Yes, under the policy, all workforce members must either receive a flu vaccine by December 1, 2015 or an approved medical or religious exemption. Those with an approved exemption are required to wear a mask for the entire flu season in any clinical area where we provide patient care or where patients may be present. When the flu season begins, workforce members who received an exemption are required to wear a mask before entering any clinical care area. This policy applies to everyone who works at the health system, including regular and temporary staff, faculty, students, trainees, vendors, contract personnel and volunteers, regardless of clinical responsibility or patient contact. This policy includes Medical School staff and those who work in non-clinical settings as well.
