All workforce members at the College of Dentistry must participate in the TB surveillance program during onboarding, regardless of their participation in patient care. Employees involved in patient care will complete an annual TB screening questionnaire after their first year of service. Employee immunization records are maintained by the OU Health Employee Health Clinic. The Director of Compliance has access to the COD database.
The Respiratory Protection Program is available for workforce members who can potentially be exposed to TB or any other respiratory pathogens requiring an N95 respirator for treatment. The EHSO will fit-test students who want to be fit-tested. The OU Health Employee Health Clinic will fit-test any employee who wants to be fit-tested.
