My hospital group is starting pre-placement drug and cotinine screening 
next month and I have the program and policies just about set to go.  I am 
now getting questioned from the GME leaders at our teaching hospitals 
about inclusion of all interns and residents in this process, and they 
would like to know what is being done at other academic medical centers.
 
So three questions:
 
1.      Are you doing pre placement drug screens? Yes
 
2.      Do you include cotinine? Yes- We do a screening test first, if 
screening is positive we do send out for confirmation.
 
 
3.      Are all interns/residents/fellows included in the screening? Yes
 
 
Thanks so much.  I will give feedback to the group after I receive the 
responses.
