Annual Health Review:
It’s the time of year for all PGY-2s through PGY-4s to complete their annual health review. This is due by July 31, and consists of:
- Completion of the health questionnaire. This is available at the WHS clinics or online.
- Medical surveillance testing; PPD will be planted and read 2-3 days later. Please note PPDs planted on Thursdays require outside readings.
- Respiratory fit testing
For hours of operation and clinic locations, visit the Workforce Health and Safety page on the NYP Infonet

- If you have not enrolled in ID.me this is now past due and you do not currently have access to EPCS prescribing services. Please enroll ASAP. The process takes only a few minutes.
- Please see the attached ID.me Quick Start Enrollment Guide and download the ID.me app. If any issues arise, open a Help Desk ticket with the subject line “ID.me enrollment issue” or reach out to us.
