    For those of you who work with students and contracts/Affiliation Agreements, do any of you have an example of one that allows minors to do rotations in your hospital?

    Also, what is your protocol for minor students and/or volunteers having drug screens? 

    For those of you who require background checks for student rotations, do you do them for those under 18?

     

    Thanks for your feedback.

    We do not drug screen any volunteers.

    We do not do background checks on those under 18

    We do have a signed parent consent form.

    We do allow shadowers 16 years or older.

    We have several programs for under 18 volunteers.   

    * We do not do drug tests

    * We do not do background checks - but do required a teacher recommendation

    * We do have signed parent/guardian consent forms

    * For those that are volunteering through their High School for a course - we also have a signed school agreement - these students (seniors) volunteer in a different department each day of the week for first semester and then choose a couple of departments of interest for second semester

    Let us know if you would like samples of any of them.
