Blood-Borne Pathogens HIV Testing Health care for students and institutional documentation of immunizations and infection surveillance are administered separately at MCP Hahnemann School of Medicine. The office of Occupational Health Services is responsible for maintaining the health and immunization records of all employees and students, and maintains formal institutional documentation of their immunization and tuberculin status. All MCP Hahnemann University students who are enrolled in full-time degree or certificate programs must carry comprehensive health protection meeting minimum specific, benefit standards. To satisfy the health insurance requirement, students may obtain coverage through the University-sponsored group plans or maintain equivalent health insurance through a plan administered elsewhere.
Students are responsible for any co-payments or the cost of uninsured services.
Students may choose to use health care providers in the area other than the Department of Family, Community and Preventive Medicine. Occupational Health Services can perform immunizations needed to meet the schools requirements. Records are mailed to the student and not to programs or institutions. It is the student s responsibility to forward them as needed, and to maintain copies of these records for future need. Students needing immunizations may make an appointment to do so.
