Cross posting to MCOH and OEM-L.

We have high school and college kids coming through during the summer  for a wide range of volunteer and “shadowing” experiences …many of which are the patient care areas.   They’re here for between 8 and 40 hours, total.

Is there a consensus as to what we need to do for them, from a medical clearance standpoint, stratified by how much time they’re with us.  The least invasive is looking at their immunization records.  The most invasive I guess is phlebotomy for an IGRA.

 

Thanks
