How do I submit my medical compliance requirements?
- All medical documentation should be submitted to Wilce Student Health Services via MyBuckMD . Incoming students should use this form.
I submitted my medical compliance requirements several days ago, but I received an email that I am non compliant for that requirement. Is something wrong?
- Most likely, no. Compliance documentation submitted to Wilce can take up to two weeks at times of heavy volume to be processed. Our system updates from Wilce each day with recent submissions. It is possible that your documentation has not yet been processed by Wilce.
My Hepatitis B titer came back negative, can I still attend clinical?
- Yes. When a Hepatitus B titer comes back negative you will need to repeat the vaccination series and an additional titer. As long as you have informed Wilce of your status and complete the series in the timeframe required, you will be considered temporarily compliant during this time. You will become noncompliant if you do not follow the timeline required by Wilce.
What is a 2 Step TB (PPD) Test?
- A 2-step PPD involves getting two 1-step skin tests done in rapid succession, usually about a week apart. The second test will give a more accurate result, based on a “boosting” of the body’s response.
- 1-step skin test – also known as a PPD. This is a two stage process. In the first stage 0.1 mL of purified protein derivative (PPD) is injected into the top layers of skin of the forearm (PPD Give). In the second stage, 48-72 hours after the PPD Give, a certified health care professional will evaluate the area by noting the amount of swelling (PPD Read). It is very important that the PPD Read occur within the time frame of 48-72 hours after the PPD Give. PPDs that are read outside of this timeframe are considered invalid and will not meet the TB requirements of your health professional college.
What information needs to be on my TB documentation?
- Placement date, read date, induration (mm), and the overall result (positive or negative). Student Health Services needs all four parts of the TB skin test in order to enter your PPD for compliance. Submissions with less than complete information regarding the TB test will be rejected until the proper documentation is received. **Please note: if using OSUWMC or Employee Health to update your TB compliance status, you will need to submit the completed TB surveillance form in addition to the basic immunization history printout to achieve full compliance.
What if I can’t get a vaccination for a medical reason?
- You will need to complete this form that must be completed and signed by a licensed medical provider and then submitted electronically to Wilce Student Health Center via MyBuckMD.
