Based on date of pre-assignment tb screening, the next tb screening (one step or IGRA) is due 12 months later, if still on rotation.

Thank you, Erika.  Do you accept an annual test or do the students have to repeat before their rotation at your facility?

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.

 

Thanks, Erika

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
