Well,

I thought I knew this regulation by heart; and further thought that OSHA defined an employee  for this standard to include medical students and residents and volunteers. But either I am missing something during my current read, or I am very wrong.

I have had several needle sticks of med students on rotation in the hospital and both the hospital and the medical school are refusing to cover the post –exposure  testing and PEP stating it is the student’s own responsibility. This is obviously a barrier to proper evaluation of the student.

Any thoughts here?
