Stanford admissions

Whilst Stanford have been setting setting the pace for their HCWs their latest document needs to be read twice;

TB Skin Testing (please check which documentation you are submitting)


  • Documentation of 2 step TB skin testing withing the past three (3) months (TB Quantiferon Blood Test is required upon arrival @ SHC and LPCH) or

  • Documentation of Quantiferon test within past three (3) months

  • Chest Xray withinn three (3) months if Hx. of Positive skin test or QFT
Apparently on admission you must provide past record of TB testing plus have a QFT

I guess that is it, for Stanford Hospital & Clinics and Lucille Packard Children's Hospital it is QFT or nothing
