fail the drug screening.
The routine physical examination, conducted by Johns Hopkins Hospital Occupational Health,
will require the student to show proof of immunity to childhood illness, such as measles, mumps,

offered the vaccines, at a reduced fee, payable by the students. Students will also receive
tuberculosis skin testing at the time of the physical.
