TB Screening
Fort Lewis College is participating in a voluntary Tuberculosis Risk Screening Program, along with many other colleges and universities across the country, as we attempt to prevent outbreaks of tuberculosis, a significant public health concern. With many of our students traveling internationally, Fort Lewis will play a key role in early detection (through screening), prompt diagnosis and treatment for any student considered at-risk. This program is designed to protect not only the individual, but also the public, from an outbreak. Participation by our students is voluntary at this time.
The Fort Lewis College Health Center invites all students to review the attached Tuberculosis Screening Questionnaire and present it to the Health Center. Our medical staff will review the responses, contact students at risk, and, in a confidential office visit, explain recommendations for evaluating that risk. Treatment, if needed, can also be obtained through the Health Center.
