Expectations and Information
We ask our academic partners to fit-test their students and provide them with a supply of N95 respirators, along with a use and reuse policy that aligns with CDC guidelines. If a partner is unable to supply N95s or complete fit-testing, students may access these services through St. Luke’s Occupational Health.
Students, staff, and contractors are currently required to wear N95s for:
- All aerosol generating procedures (AGPs)
- Because most students may be involved in aerosol-generating procedures (AGPs), they must be properly equipped with N95 respirators. Without them, students will not be able to participate in the care of patients undergoing these procedures.
- COVID-19-positive or rule-out patients
- All students are given the option to participate in COVID patient care with the exception of high school students, interns, and professional observers.
