Step 2- Medical Examination and TB Test Results
Due: April 13, 2012
State regulation requires a current medical exam and TB test. The Education Professional Standards Board (EPSB) has defined "current" as within one (1) year prior to student teaching. A physician may not waive the requirement for the TB test by indicating "not at risk." The OEDCP must have a current TB test on file.
