SELECT Immunization Instructions

As you plan your 4th year electives – including any “away” electives/externships not at USF-Lehigh Valley or Tampa, you may be asked by host institutions to provide them with additional testing or titers, based upon a review of history.

Below are the steps to help guide you through completing these additional rotation requirements:

1. SELECT student requests their immunization/test records from Medical Health Administration (USF Tampa) either by email: mha@usf.edu or phone: 813-974-3163

2. Student compares the requirements of the receiving hospital to the records obtained from USF.

3. For TB Screening, titers, or physicals, please contact Student Health Services – 1101 S Cedar Crest Blvd, Allentown by Tiger Texting the Team for an appointment.

4. Alternative location for TB Screening & for Medical Record Authorizations: If the only item needed for the rotation requirements is a TB screen, plus completion of the medical form verified by an HCP signature, Employee Health Services will provide this as a courtesy to you.  Go to Employee Health during WALK-IN hours and have the TB screen done.  TB screening will be done by PPD Mantoux testing.  QFT testing will be provided ONLY when a QFT test is a rotation requirement.  If you need your medical requirement form signed by a HCP, leave your forms AND your USF records with the Employee Health Receptionist at that time.  After the TB screen is read/reported, the Employee Health Nurse will complete the form and notify you to pick up the forms.  If only the verification of medical forms is needed, drop off the forms, with your USF records in Employee Health, and you will be called to pick up when completed. 

5. N-95 Mask Fit Testing: Fit-testing will be offered to students in June during Prologue 4; otherwise, you will need to make an individual appointment at one of the Occupational Medicine practices. Visit: https://www.lvhn.org/medical-services/occupational-health/locations .

   Please note: the fit-testing card you received last May during I2C will expire this May. If the away institution will still accept it and you just need another copy, please contact Davida Leayman by Tiger Text or email Davida_M.Leayman@lvhn.org .

6. Drug Screening: Please contact an Occupational Medicine practice for this service. Visit: https://www.lvhn.org/medical-services/occupational-health/locations

7. Flu Shots: During flu season, Student Health Services will provide flu shots to all SELECT students at the SELECT 3 Flu Clinic that is arranged by Student Affairs. Students will also be able to get one at the Employee Health office by registering online. Employee Health does NOT offer walk-in hours for flu shots.

If you have any further questions, please contact Davida Leayman in the Dept. of Education/UME office for assistance. Phone: 835-210-4592 or E-mail: Davida_M.Leayman@lvhn.org.
