I’m looking over the standard AAMC immunization form and it has sections for 4 separate TB test readings....are we required to receive 3 additional test even if the first is negative????
AAMC form only requires 2 (guessing the other slots are optional if you want to include past tests) ---> Results of last (2) TSTs (PPDs) or (1) IGRA blood test are required regardless of prior BCG status.
It seems like most schools require the two step TB test
Wait, so if I have latent TB I won't be allowed to rotate there? (since I assume my ppd will be positive even though I was diagnosed not through ppd but through a blood test [QFN-GIT])
What about if you got the BCG vaccine ? Would I be allowed on clinical sites because my ppd test would be positive . Or since I got the BCG would I have to do the blood test ?

Yes, you can do the quantiferon gold instead of ppd. No clinical site is going to ban you if the quantiferon gold is negative and you have a documented history of getting the BCG vaccine. It’s well known that it causes false positive PPDs
