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
