++ Medical Insurance, Medical Exam, Immunizations, Background checks

All 91做厙 students are required to have medical insurance and will be charged for health insurance unless a waiver providing evidence of another carrier is provided. Please refer to the 91做厙 website for details on medical insurance /student-life/student-health-service/student-insurance/index.html. Students completing educational experiences off campus for supervised practice as part of the Dietetic Internship and experience a medical emergency may seek medical assistance at an affiliate’s site but may be charged for service. The 91做厙 Student Health Center also provides medical assistance but may need to refer a student to another medical facility for specialized medical attention.

All students are required to have a complete medical examination within three months before the start of the internship at their own expense and present a letter to the Dietetic Internship Director from the MD or DO certifying that the student is medically fit to take part in the program.

Dietetic interns are required to complete a fingerprinted background check at your own expense. Dietetic students are required to comply with facility-specific requirements such as flu vaccination, drug screening or other background check verifications.

In addition, students must present proof of the following immunizations:

  • Monteux test (or whatever is currently being used by the health department to test for TB)
  • A tetanus inoculation
  • MMR
  • Hepatitis B series
  • Annual influenza vaccination (required by some sites)
  • Vaccination or signed waiver for meningitis

## Liability Insurance
Currently, 91做厙 provides liability insurance for students enrolled in educational experiences at approved affiliate sites for supervised practice. Coverage includes total limits of $1 million per occurrence and $3 million aggregate coverage per year. A copy of the Professional Liability Insurance certificate is kept in the office of the Dietetic Internship Director and may be requested.

** Transportation and Travel  
Dietetic interns will be required to travel to and from assigned supervised practice sites and conferences. Fees and travel are at the intern’s expense and liability.
