Enrollment Requirements

• State law (Florida Statute (1006.69) and Florida Administrative Code (6C-6.001-5)) requires all incoming students to provide written proof of adequate immunization to Measles (Rubeola) and German measles (Rubella). All M.D. students are also required to provide documentation of immunization to Mumps, Varicella, Hepatitis B, and Tetanus-diphtheria.
  • In addition, M.D. students are required to provide documentation of two-step PPD testing (documentation of two Mantoux skin tests within 12 months preceding enrollment at UCF COM, with the second test administered 1 – 3 weeks after the first test). If there is a history of positive PPD, documentation of a current chest x-ray and the tuberculosis screening questionnaire is required (within the past 12 months).  Alternatively, Quantiferon-Gold TB test is also acceptable for those students with a history of positive PPD.
• Since medical students have requirements beyond other students, you may find it necessary to get additional immunizations prior to enrollment. You will need to provide proof of the following immunizations and requirements found on the Mandatory Immunization Health History Form. For information on vaccines, please visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention – Vaccine Information Statements.
