All students MUST provide proof of health insurance prior to matriculation. Each student鈥檚 personal health insurance policy must remain active throughout their participation in the program.

Students are financially responsible for the cost of all health care services they may require while enrolled in the program, including any health care services required as a result of their participation in scheduled program activities (e.g. TB testing, immunizations, treatment of injuries, pathogen exposure evaluation and treatment).

Students must have an annual health screening prior to matriculation into the didactic phase and clinical phase of the program. 聽This is to be completed as indicated on the DPAS Student Health Record and must include immunization verification, laboratory verification of serologic testing for immunity (antibody test results) and tuberculosis screening.

DPAS students are required to have current immunization status throughout enrollment in the program as recommended for healthcare personnel by the Centers for Disease Control. 聽Please refer to the following link for the

All students must have baseline tuberculosis screening in the form of a tuberculosis skin test (TST) or Quantiferon testing (if applicable) performed in accordance with CDC guidelines prior to matriculation and again before beginning the clinical phase. Additionally, certain clinical sites may have more stringent requirements. In the event TB testing is positive, evaluation and treatment, if indicated must be completed in accordance with current CDC guidelines.

The Cohen Health Center staff will review the health record information in the beginning of the Didactic phase, and the beginning of the Clinical phase, to ensure that the student meets the defined requirements. 聽Students who are not in compliance with having a completed health record in the beginning of each phase may not be allowed to participate in that phase, and may delay their education and progression in the program of study.

The student health record is a confidential document that is not accessible to the department program faculty, department chair/program director, medical director, or program staff. 聽Per accreditation standards, the only information that will be accessible in the department student file is the immunization record and tuberculosis screening results. 聽Students must give written permission for their immunization record and tuberculosis screening results to be shared with the program by signing the Authorization to Release Immunization Record and Tuberculosis Screening Results to the Program of Study form. 聽Students also must give written permission for their health information to be shared by the Cohen Health Center, with clinical sites, by signing the release in the DPAS Student Health Record. 聽 聽
