Student and Faculty Requirements
Required Competencies and Documentation
Our regulatory and internal policies require that all student/faculty and contracted employees have the same level of competency as our employees. This is to ensure that our patients are cared for safely and that the student and faculty are safe in our facilities. Even if s/he does not have direct patient contact, every student/faculty must complete annual competencies if spending time in our facilities.
Requirements include:
- Background checks (using the four required agencies identified on the form) or completed DOH fingerprinting.
- Orientation completed on their first day to the unit.
- Verification of the following immunizations
- TDAP
- Varciella
- Annual tuberculosis (TB) screening
- MMR
- Hepatitis B (HBV)
