How Do You Improve Health Every Day?

“Student Services at the Sentara College of Health Sciences impacts the health of our students and subsequently protects the health of our patients. We maintain current records on all students to ensure up-to-date immunizations and current TB testing. Faculty in concert with Student Services continually monitors the health status of our students. We observe for conditions that warrant medical clearance to prevent spread of communicable disease and to safely perform in the school and hospital environment. As the Health Records coordinator, I feel that educating the students on aspects of their personal health helps them be more aware of the health of their patients.”
