Onboarding a Temporary MA in One Morning: A Checklist
By Carlos Pacheco · Sep 2026

Access first: EHR login, door codes, badge and the supply room.
Walk through the patient flow from check-in to checkout, including where vitals are entered.
Confirm delegated tasks, standing orders and who supervises each one.
Point out emergency equipment, sharps disposal and infection control routines.
Agree on how the end of the shift is handed over, so nothing is left open.
