Medical clearance from the OHSP must be completed before any new IACUC protocols will be approved.
The forms will be reviewed by the medical clinic's OHSP medical professionals, who may request further information (i.e. basic medical tests or a physical). In addition, the OHSP professionals may request follow-up actions, such as vaccinations for those working with potentially infectious animals. Those planning international travel and research are advised to enroll in this program well in advance of their anticipated travel dates.
