Pre-Employment Screening for Health Care Personnel

Before beginning employment at University of Iowa Health Care, every resident/fellow is required to complete a health screening in the University Employee Health Clinic (UEHC). The free health screening is provided for your protection as well as the protection of our patients.

These documents are required condition of your training and employment at UI Health Care. Failure to provide this information could result in a revocation of employment and/or dismissal.

Pre-employment immunization requirements [Requires HealthCareID and password to log on to the system.]

Measles/Mumps/Rubella

  •  

Vaccination

Requirements
RubellaOne vaccination date after 1970
Rubeola (Measles)Two vaccinations dates after 1968
MumpsTwo vaccinations dates after first birthday
VaricellaTwo vaccination dates

Note: Documentation of serological tests indicating immunity to these diseases may be substituted for the vaccination. To find your records, contact your family physician, college student health service or other hospitals/institutions that vaccinated/tested you.

Tuberculosis (TB)

Upon initial employment: 

  • TB symptom review and 2 tuberculin skin tests (TST), the first TST completed before the first day of patient care; 1 TST may be omitted with the following documentation:

a) 1 negative TST within past 12 months of health screening visit; or 

b) 2 negative TSTs 

  • A blood test for TB (IGRA) performed within the past 6 months of health screening visit will be accepted in lieu of the 2 tuberculin skin tests

 Or 

  • TB symptom review for persons with a documented positive TST screening, chest x-ray report and associated treatment records 

Continued employment

  • Frequency of TB screening is determined by the Annual TB Risk Assessment

Hepatitis B

If you have completed the vaccination series, obtain documentation of your vaccination date or Hepatitis B titer documentation (HBsAb or anti-HBs).

Note: The Hepatitis B vaccination series is highly recommended, and UI Health Care is required to document your acceptance or declination of this immunization.

Respirator Fitness Testing

Respirator fit testing to an N-95 respirator will be performed as part of your health screening visit. Consequently, the approximate time to complete the initial screening evaluation in UEHC should be less than one hour.
