As
a health professions
student, part of your
training will include
a phase in your academic
training that will
bring you in direct
contact with patients.
Indeed, this is an
exciting time in your
clinical training.
It is your duty to
protect yourself and
others from communicable
diseases. One of the
University’s
responsibilities is
to provide an environment
that minimizes your
risk of contracting
diseases that are
preventable through
vaccination. There
are other engineering
controls that are
put in place to protect
you and others, e.g.
respirator fit testing,
universal precautions.
For
your protection, a
health clearince is
required for every
health science student. This
health clearance is
reviewed annually beginning
with the year you begin
any clinical rotation.
Some of you begin your
clinical rotations
in your first year,
others in your second
year or third year.
No student
will be cleared for
clinical rotations
until all requirements
are met.
When
the health clearance
requirements are met,
you will receive a
Health Clearance
Certificate which
is required before
you begin a clinical
rotation and it must
be renewed annually.
Medical students are
to submit all paperwork
needing completion on
Tuesday or Friday, for
pick up within one week.
Health clearances and
medical releases will
be completed within three
days
