[MCOH-EH] TB screening question

Thank you so much, these are students that will be coming into the facility for their clinical practice? Our New Hires we follow the practice below -- just wondering  what others were doing with their students.

We require a recent TB test within 6 weeks of the hire date.  We typically will conduct a 2-step TB test (they're cheap), but we also have the option of Quanteferon for certain circumstances.
