Paperwork and system access before the first day, a tour and introductions, safety training (radiation, anesthetic gases, chemicals, sharps, zoonoses, and bite prevention), practice policies, role-specific skills sign-off, and regular check-ins through the first 90 days.
How long should onboarding take?+
Basic onboarding takes a week or two, but most practices find it takes around 90 days for a new hire to be fully independent in their role.

It depends on your state and the work done. Common topics include radiation safety, hazard communication for chemicals, anesthetic gas exposure, sharps, and zoonotic disease. Check OSHA and state requirements.
