Physical Exam requirement - im_resident - ArchivalUser - 03-24-2008 Hi, I would appreciate if someone can help me with following qs 1. What does a physical exam for residents consist of and are there any conditions that can prevent the program from hiring a person? 2. My understanding is that if a person's PPD ever comes +ve , he need NOT to undergo ppd test in future. Is that right? Can a + ppd but normal CXR in any way be problematic ? Thanks 0 - ArchivalUser - 03-24-2008 anyone????? 0 - ArchivalUser - 03-24-2008 I heard you need to take INH for 6 or 9 months if your PPD is positive |
