TB Tests

We are updating our hospital contracts and note that all hospitals now require a TB test every six months. In the past, the program has only required a yearly TB. Please check your records and if your TB test has not been done in the past six months, submit a new result to the office by April 30. If you have a positive history and a chest x-ray every two years, you will need a symptom review every six months.

If you submitted your original requirements to Certified Background, you will need to upload your TB results (every six months) to their site.

Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.

Dean, Health Sciences Division
