You’ll need a 2-Step Skin TB Test or a QuantiFERON blood test dated within 6 months of your program start date. The 2-Step skin test takes almost two weeks to complete, so start early. You can get tested through your primary care physician or a GEMS partnered vendor.
If your result is positive, submit that documentation along with chest X-ray results to be cleared. If you have symptoms or an active infection, follow your physician’s isolation and treatment instructions. A chest X-ray alone is not accepted in place of a TB test.
