We recently updated our Infectious Disease Policy to a more global view. As healthcare providers, we are subject to the rules and regulations issued by the Washington State Department of Health. Covid-19 caught us off guard, and we and everyone else were not prepared with a policy to address the situation. We have decided to institute a policy based on all infectious diseases so the following policy is not limited to one disease or another. It is geared toward protecting our patients, staff, students, and providers in the event of an infectious disease outbreak and enables us to raplidy adjust to any situation. Feel free to copy our policy for your own clinic use if needed.

Policy on Infectious Illnesses and Disease Transmission
Our current policy comprehensively addresses all infectious illnesses and diseases with high transmission rates Please take note of the following guidelines:
Symptoms of Illness:
If you experience any symptoms of illness, we strongly recommend that you stay home from school
Contact your doctor promptly and consider getting tested if testing is available
Prescreening will continue more as a record of who has visited our campus, similar to signing in at the doctor’s office However, a person exhibiting symptoms of illness may be refused entry or sent home
Class Limitations and Vaccination Requirements:
ASNT will not impose class limitations or mandate vaccinations
We will not collect vaccination records
There is no global masking policy in place
Exceptions and Special Circumstances:
However, there may be specific situations where additional measures are necessary:
Masking: Masking requirements may be enforced based on factors such as community spread rates, community hospitalization rates, or individual requests
Class Pauses: Classes may be temporarily paused due to illness/disease outbreaks within the program
Vaccination Proof: In certain circumstances (eg, for immunocompromised individuals), vaccination proof may be required
Scope of Policy:
This policy applies to all infectious diseases with high transmission rates, not limited to any specific pathogen
Ongoing Updates:
As the situation evolves, we will continue to provide updates and relevant information
We Recommend:
Discussing with your doctor and receiving appropriate vaccines for healthcare workers
Being prepared to mask at any given time
Practicing good preventative measures while on and off campus
Thank you for your attention, and please stay informed as we adapt to changing circumstances.
