Lifetime Medical Associates (LMA) Appointments

As part of Orientation, all incoming students must schedule an individual appointment with Lifetime Medical Associates (LMA) to fulfill the immunization and drug screening requirement.

Immunizations: LMA will administer your QuantiFERON test to fulfill our immunization requirements. If you have proof of a Tdap vaccination administered within the past ten years, please bring this proof to your appointment. If you do not have proof, LMA will administer a Tdap vaccination for you. If you have previously tested positive for PPD, bring a copy of the positive results and the corresponding chest x-ray to your appointment.

Drug Screening: In preparation for clinical rotations at John H. Stroger Jr. Hospital of Cook County, all RMC students are required to submit a urine sample under conditions arranged by RMC for a drug screening. Upon completion, a report will be released to RMC. A positive result will be reviewed by the Committee on Student Evaluation and Promotion (COSEP). RMC may rescind acceptance if COSEP verifies a positive result.
