Drug Screening

Drug screening may be required at any time, depending upon program and/or affiliated institution requirements.  See HSCEP OP 77.15, https://ttuhscep.edu/elpaso/opp/_documents/77/op7715.pdf

 

If there is the concern of a substance abuse issue, the positive result will be sent to the Director of Student Affairs who will forward it to the Physician/Student Wellness committee for evaluation. The student will not be eligible to participate in clinical activities until the issue has been addressed (see Impaired Medical Student policy). A medical student may request retesting of his/her original sample within five days of being notified of a positive result by contacting the laboratory.  The medical student is responsible for the cost of retesting.
