Missouri law tuberculosis screening/testing requirement

Why do I have to do this?

Missouri Law (RS 199.290) requires the following: All institutions of higher education in Missouri shall implement a targeted testing program on their campuses for all on-campus students and faculty upon matriculation. Any entering student of an institution of higher education in Missouri who does not comply with the targeted testing program shall not be permitted to maintain enrollment in the subsequent semester at such institution.

Who is required to do this?

STUDENTS: Those who are newly enrolled or returning after more than a one semester break. Students must complete the requirement before registering for the second semester following the initial semester triggering the requirement of the university.

FACULTY: All new full-time faculty and per-course faculty at Missouri State University.

What do I need to do?

You must complete a simple short online survey about possible tuberculosis exposure. The survey is accessed through your Missouri State Experience. Search for the Magers Health and Wellness Center card and click on the TB Information and Screening Survey link. For most, completing the survey will fulfill the requirement and no further action will be required.
If a tuberculosis exposure risk factor is indicated on the survey, tuberculosis testing and further screening is required. The test will consist of a blood sample or a skin test. Testing may be completed at Magers Health and Wellness Center on campus or by another qualified provider.
- Call 417-836-4000 to schedule an appointment at Magers Health and Wellness Center for testing and further screening.
- If testing is completed by another provider, the results must be provided to the Magers Health and Wellness Center Treatment Nurse for review for the following required components: Date administered, date of reading, millimeters of induration, and signature of qualified health care provider. Outside test results may be faxed to Attention: Treatment Nurse at 417-837-3020. Those providing outside results must make an appointment to visit or call the Magers Health and Wellness Center Treatment Nurse at 417-836-4020 to complete the additional screening. There is no cost for this screening encounter.
If the initial test is positive, further testing and evaluation will be needed before the requirement is met.
