MEDIcard: Electronic Employee ID For All TUM Employees At The Hospital Rechts der Isar

Since September 2011, all areas of the main campus of the university hospital Klinikum Rechts der Isar have been equipped with automated uniform dispensers. The following factors were central in the hospital's decision to implement an automated dispenser and return system:

  • Around-the-clock availability of clean uniforms 
  • Unlimited availability 
  • No deposits
  • Delivery on clothes hangers for improved appearance 

Uniforms are now available only through the new automated dispensers.

Identification with the MediCard

All hospital employees require an electronic employee ID to utilize the new system. TUM employees who work at the hospital must obtain their ID from the university, not the clinic.

Photo Upload via TUMonline

We therefore ask that you upload a photo via TUMonline ( https://campus.tum.de/ ) by clicking on the "TUMcard passport photograph upload" in your employee profile and sending us an e-mail to it-support@tum.de with your name, date of birth and TUM ID (e.g. "go42tum") to apply for the card. If the upload function is not working or is not available, you can apply and send the photo via e-mail to it-support@tum.de.
