A week or two before, you should be contacted by their anesthesiologist that does the scheduling and trainee coordination (as of Dec 2024 – Lucas Suder  (Suder, Lucas V Capt USAF (USA) [[1]] ) and Tory Garling (Garling, Tory P Maj USAF 633 MDG (USA) [[2]])).  They’ll ask for your schedule requests (days you need off or need to be somewhere else).

Week before –

  • Badge/orientation - you should go to Langley to meet up with one of them to get a quick orientation and more importantly, to get your badge. You’ll need a badge/security memo from one of them to get your badge – Office is on the fist floor, ask for direction.  
  • Pharmacy/pyxis – you’ll need the pharmacy access memo from Suder or Garling, and then take it to inpatient pharmacy.  They’ll add your access to the facility.  Same username and fingerprint as NMCP.
  • Genesis periop tracker - You’ll also need to see the Genesis Account Coordinator at Langley (Mr Simmons – ask someone at Langley to show you where his office is).  He provides the approval/justification to DHA/genesis to add you to the 0120 tracker access.  After that happens, be sure you still have 0124 (NMCP), it’s been a trend that when the DHA genesis team adds you to 0120 they remove you from 0124, despite all the requests you’ll submit to not do that.   (they “remove the Service Resource Security” for the list and need to add it back )
  • -iAccess should work from NMCP, mine did.

Locker room, men's is 4114#.  There are scrubs in there, no scrub card.  Pick any open locker.

Day 1 – do anesthesia.  Workflow is awesome, and quick.  Be mindful of things that will delay discharge from PACU (too sedated, too nauseous) The ORs are generally scheduled to end NLT 1530, and you don’t want it to be your patient that needs to be babysat when everyone is trying to leave. You'll do your own blocks right before rolling back.
