Learning Hub works best using Google Chrome browser. Issues have been reported by users of Internet Explorer, Safari and Firefox.

Please note, UofSC School of Medicine Greenville students in the classes of 2022 – 2024 will use their SMS numbers to log into Learning Hub.

You may do this by selecting the dropdown arrow beside “Retake.” Select “Review” and then “View Training Details.”

Tuberculosis (TB) Screening
TB (Tuberculosis) Screening:
What’s Required – First Time Students, Faculty, Staff and Scholars (one of the following upon initial clearance):
Two-Step TB PPD test, completed within the past year. The following is the standard process for completing a two-step TB PPD test:
Visit 1, Day 1: PPD antigen is applied under the skin.
Visit 2, Day 3: PPD test is read (within 48-72 hrs. of placement). If positive, it indicates TB infection and a chest x-ray and further evaluation is necessary.
Visit 3, Day 7-21: a second PPD skin test is applied (for those that test one was negative)
Visit 4, 48-72 hours after placement: the second test is read.
A positive 2nd test indicates TB infection in the distant past. Chest X-Ray and further evaluation will likely be necessary.
Note: TB PPD (skin) tests cannot be administered within 30 days of MMR or Varicella vaccine; live vaccines may cause a false positive for the TB PPD (skin) test. In addition, the CDC recommends waiting 4 weeks after receiving the COVID vaccine before getting a PPD or Quantiferon blood test. There is no harm if someone gets these tests within 4 weeks of the vaccine, but it may potentially produce a false positive.
Annual TB PPD test: An annual test will only be accepted if you have previously received a two-step TB test and have maintained annual testing each following year. Documentation of the two step test plus all annual tests are mandatory.
QuantiFERON® or T-spot tests, drawn within the past year. A positive test indicates TB infection in the distant past. Chest X-ray and further evaluation will be necessary.
Chest X-ray: Only required when a person has a positive TB test. The chest X-ray must be done within 6 months prior to the start of the rotation.
What’s Required – Return Students, Faculty, Staff and Scholars:
