When I ran the program at a Medical Center that had lots of med students, Employee Health managed their exposures and didn't charge them for it.  They were stressed enough by the exposure.  I didn't feel right giving them the runaround trying to get coverage.  The cost of doing business.

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?
