Our students/contract staff/travelers/etc. must meet the same tb screening requirements as the employees. We are a medium risk facility per CDC criteria and therefore they must provide documentation of either
a 2-step or an IGRA.

Subject: [MCOH-EH] Tb screening in students
I am wondering what your facility requires for Tb screening for students. Our system is trying to systematize how we all onboard new hires/travelers/locums/students. I appreciate any information/guidance that you have.
Thank you,
Karen
