If, in the past, you have only had negative skin tests or negative Interferon Gamma Release Assay (IGRA) blood tests, then you will need to be evaluated for TB risk factors. This is called a TB Risk Assessment and can be completed by any Los Rios college nurse over the phone. Alternatively, may have a risk assessment performed by a provider of your choice.
Learn how to schedule a phone appointment with a Los Rios nurse or submit your completed TB risk assessment and certificate of completion to Human Resources.
