Students who project themselves as future health care professionals are obligated to protect their health and the health of their future patients. All matriculating students at KHSU-KansasCOM are required to be vaccinated in accordance with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) immunization guidelines.
These guidelines change and are updated periodically, and applicants and students are expected to be knowledgeable regarding the current CDC guidelines for health care workers found on their website: www.cdc.gov. KHSU-KansasCOM students are responsible for maintaining a current and thoroughly documented official record of immunizations prior to and during enrollment.
Health Form for Matriculation - Each entering student must submit a completed health form provided and approved by KHSU-KansasCOM prior to matriculation.
Tuberculosis Screening - Documentation of a negative Mantoux test (PPD) done within the past twelve months must be provided. Students may be required to provide evidence of chest x-ray results or other information certifying a noncontagious state.
