Please note that the below process is similar to the process as explained by Linda Lennerth for students in Tampa, however, this email contains information specific to students at USF-Lehigh Valley.
- You have received from the Health Office at USF-Tampa an email that contains a copy of your immunization report that includes all the information on-file at the MHA office in Tampa.
- Review and compare to the requirements for the facility where you are applying. The requirements in some facilities may differ from the USF Requirements and you may need to have additional testing done such as antibody titers.
- Complete any additional requirements (if applicable), including lab testing, TB screening, and/or fit-testing and obtain a copy of the verifications. The Employee/Student Health office can only provide TB screening, flu shots and fit testing. There is no charge to you for these services through our office.
- Complete all of the on-line Safety training modules (5 Total) located on the USF LEARN website https://learn.health.usf.edu/login/index.php. Log in, click on “USF Health Training” and then “Role Based Training”. The 5 required training modules are located in the “Safety: Back to Basics” folder. Make sure you complete all 5 modules.
Note: TB and fit-testing are annual requirements for students at LVHN. For your convenience, you have two options for completing TBG screening and fit-testing provided by LVHN at no charge:
- We will offer TB and fit-testing during Prologue 4 (May 27-June 6).
- If you need to complete these requirements prior to Prologue 4:
- Set-up an appointment with the Employee/Student Health office if you will be applying for an externship that requires a signature verifying that you meet all immunization requirements. Let us know how many applications you will have so we can allot enough time to complete the review(s). WE CANNOT REVIEW EXTERNSHIP APPLICATIONS ON A WALK-IN BASIS.
Complete the Externship application immunization form(s) using your USF immunization report emailed to you and bring the completed forms to your appointment.
Employee/Student Health office staff will update your USF record (if applicable), review, stamp and sign your applications for externships at the time of your appointment.
- If you need to complete your TB testing prior to Prologue, please contact the Employee/Student Health office to set up an appointment. Contact info and hours are attached.
- If you need to complete fit-testing prior to Prologue, visit the Infection Control drop-in office during one of the following drop-in hours:
- Tuesday March 11 from 3 pm to 4:45
- Friday March 14 from 9 am to Noon
- Tuesday March 18 from 3 pm to 4:45
