Q5 – I was mask fit tested about a year ago, do I need to do it again?

Regardless of the current concerns about COVID-19, all healthcare providers should maintain up to date fit testing to protect themselves from a host of infectious disease that can be transmitted through respiratory secretions/cough. If you were fit tested within the last 12 months (last year during Transition to CCE for current 3rd year students, or last spring in preparations for 4th year, for current 4th year students) you are fine and do not need to be re-fit-tested at the current time. When you pass the 12-month mark from your last fit test, please contact Environmental Health and Safety to arrange for a fit testing appointment. At the current time, appointments are still available for students.
