HSC and College of Public Health Student Requirements
Proof of adequate immunization and updated Tuberculin Skin Test (PPD) records are requirements for clinical rotations. Failure to provide proof of compliant immunizations or titers will prevent you from doing clinical work.
Below are the pre-matriculation immunization requirements for Health Sciences, College of Public Health and School of Podiatry students. Please contact Student Health Services at 215-707-4088 to make an appointment if necessary.
