Clinical Requirements

Student Observation and Student Teacher Clinical Requirements

All full-time Student Teacher candidates who wish to complete the clinical requirements included in the Pennsylvania Department of Education Form 338G at the Student Health Center must contact the health center for an appointment. They must have a health form, signed by a licensed health care provider, on file that includes the following:

• Physical examination
• Required and recommended immunizations
• Proof of health insurance
• Proof of meningitis vaccination or signed waiver

The Pennsylvania Department of Education Form 338G will not be released to the student until all these criteria are met.

Mantoux Test

For Student Teacher observations, a Mantoux test will be performed on any student for a fee of $15 by appointment. The test must be read within 48 to 72 hours or repeated for an additional fee.   Students who have not met all of the health services requirements are asked to sign a treatment waiver, and must follow up with their private health care provider if the Mantoux test is positive. TB tests are available at the Student Health Center from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. If the student does not return in a timely manner for the test read, it will be necessary to repeat the TB test for an additional fee.
