5.3 Student Safety, Wellness and Health Policies and Procedures This file is bookmarked for ease of navigation. Please activate bookmark icon. 5.3 Student Safety, Wellness and Health Policies and Procedures: Physical HealthCare Services Students on each campus are provided with a list of medical care facilities that are easily accessible to PCOM's campuses. The list of physicians, clinics, health care centers and hospitals is posted in the Student Handbook, on line on PCOM’s intranet (MyPCOM) and is also available in the Office of Student Affairs. Health records and inoculations/vaccinations required for enrollment in the DO program are managed by the Student Wellness Center. Flu shots are also provided. The PCOM Student Health Services model provides triage and referral for students (not student families) for acute physical and mental health problems. Students are referred to contracted providers for treatment. The Georgia and South Georgia Campuses have established relationships with physical and mental health providers to serve as providers of student health services to PCOM students. Through the MyPCOM Student Resources Tab all students can access a listing of both medical and psychiatric providers from on campus or off campus at all times. The charge for treatment, labs, blood work, X-ray, etc. which are ordered is submitted to the student’s health insurance company for payment; charges not covered by insurance are the responsibility of the student. The student must show his or her medical insurance card at all visits, including Student Health provider office visits. For treatment in any Emergency Room, bills are sent to the student for all services provided. These bills are subsequently submitted to insurance for payment. For their protection, every PCOM student is required to carry insurance and encouraged to maintain a personal, local, primary care physician for preventive medicine and other routine health care. PCOM requires that all students have health insurance and offers a group health insurance plan to its students, Health insurance coverage under this plan will end either when the student withdraws from school, takes a leave of absence without making special arrangements with the Bursar to pay premiums for coverage to continue, cancels during the “open enrollment” period by providing evidence of alternative comparable coverage or presents evidence of comparable insurance through another or on August 1 of the graduation year. Graduates may elect to end student group insurance earlier provided insurance from internship institution or other employer goes into effect; graduates may extend insurance for up to three months beyond August 1 by making special arrangements with the Office of Student Affairs. HEALTH INSURANCE POLICY PCOM requires all students to be covered by health insurance. HEALTH SERVICES Students choosing to use any of PCOM’s affiliated health care services (either located on or off campus) must follow the same payment- for- service policies that are required of patients from the external community who utilize PCOM health care services. The medical practices accept most major insurance plans but must follow each plan equally for all patients. Please be sure to understand completely the specifics of your individual health insurance plan. WELLNESS SERVICES If you are on the Philadelphia Campus and not feeling well and would like to be seen by a physician affiliated with PCOM, feel free to contact the PCOM Family Medicine Office, located on the first floor of Rowland Hall to make an appointment. The phone number is (215) 871- 6380. Be sure to let the staff person know you are a PCOM student. You will be required to bring your medical insurance card with you to the appointment (this is not a free service). Georgia students please note the locations below. If you are feeling ill after hours or on the weekend and are in need of emergency services, you should go to the nearest hospital. RESOURCES AT OR NEAR THE CAMPUS PA Campus Lankenau Hospital at 100 Lancaster Avenue, Wynnewood, PA Phn: 610-658-6003 GA Campus Strickland Family Medicine Center at 665 Duluth Highway, Lawrenceville, GA Phn: 678-312-0400 South GA Campus Sterling Group Primary Care Clinic 6 Hospital Park, Moultrie, GA Phn: 229-985-3320 For additional resources on and off campus in both Pennsylvania and Georgia, please see the listing of physical health resources and hours on pcom.edu. INJURY DURING TRAINING ASSIGNMENTS In the event of an accident, injury, or other incident during a training assignment, the accident report procedure for the institution where the student is training must be followed. Without this record keeping, the student’s own health insurance coverage and/or PCOM's professional liability could be placed in jeopardy. In the event of an injury in a clinical or other training setting, such as a needle stick or splash, the student should report the incident to the supervisor of the clerkship and also to the Office of Student/Resident Medical Records immediately by calling 215-871-6420. The student is responsible for the cost of evaluating and treating the injury. The student’s personal health insurance plan will be billed by the provider. Students are responsible for all additional co-pays. Information about procedures relating to radiation and hazardous material exposures at training sites is contained on the PCOM website and in the institutional Health and Safety Manual. VACCINATIONS All students are required to complete all necessary health/physical examination forms and to have all immunizations and health-related records completed by the deadlines set by the Office of Student Wellness. Vaccinations are required, upon initial enrollment, for all students who have contact with patients, clients, school students or whose program requires laboratory instruction. Psychology students must document immunizations prior to the clinical component of the academic program. Students in the Organizational Development and Leadership programs are not required to document immunizations. Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine Page 1 of 3 Policy and Procedure - Influenza Vaccination Prepared by: Human Resources Approved by: }JJ-�� Effective Date: September 1, 2016 Revision Date: September 1, 2019 Title: Influenza Vaccination 2016 Policy: 2.90 Policy: Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine requires influenza immunization on an annual basis for all personnel working or volunteering within a PCOM healthcare provider facility/department. Purpose: The purpose of this policy is to protect patients, employees, family members and the community from influenza infection through annual immunization of all PCOM faculty, staff, students/trainees in clinical settings, clinical research personnel, contracted personnel who work in patient care areas, volunteers and persons with professional staff privileges or credentials. Scope: For purposes of this policy, PCOM includes all healthcare centers and clinical sites on all campuses in Philadelphia and Georgia. Procedures: All Healthcare managers and supervisors are responsible for the enforcement of this policy requiring influenza immunization on an annual basis unless exemption has been granted as described below: A. Annual Influenza Immunization: 1. All faculty and staff working in a PCOM health care provider facility must be immunized against influenza each year. This includes all personnel as defined under the scope and purpose of this policy. 2. Influenza vaccine is available free of charge to all PCOM employees. The vaccination program is coordinated through the Wellness Program. 3. If faculty and staff and personnel covered by this policy are vaccinated through services other than PCOM (i.e. private physician office, public clinics) they must provide proof of immunization to their respective departments. Proof of immunization may include a physician's note, a receipt, or copy of consent. B. Infection Control Procedures: 1. All personnel will be required to strictly adhere to respiratory hygiene and hand hygiene practices, as well as isolation precautions. Student Wellness Center Most Commonly asked Questions 1. What does “quantitative results” mean? Quantitative lab results mean that the mandatory blood work (Hepatitis B, Rubella, Rubeola (Measles), Mumps, and Varicella) need a numeric value as a result. 2. Where can I get a discount lab slip from and where do I get blood work done on campus? Philadelphia students contact Monica Jones at 215-871-6420 PCOM Georgia and South Georgia students contact Barri Dean at 678-225-7484 3. What is the two-step PPD procedure? The two-step PPD procedure involves getting a PPD placed and getting it read 48-72 hours later (this is the first step). Two weeks later, you repeat the PPD placement and reading (second step). You will only need to get Two Step if required by affiliate. 4. If I do not have my childhood vaccine dates for (polio, Tdap or Varicella, can lab work act as a substitute?) If you are unable to retrieve your childhood vaccines, you can get the titers needed to show immunity. This is very common with childhood polio vaccines. 5. If I need to get an updated vaccine (Hep B, MMR, Varicella, or TDAP) on campus, where can I go? Philadelphia students contact Monica Jones at 215—871-6420 PCOM Georgia and South Georgia students contact Barri Dean at 678-225-7484 6. What is the Hep B waiver? PCOM honors this waiver in the event of your Hep B results being negative or if you are unable to finish your series. If you complete the series and get a titer that is positive, the waiver is voided out. 7. What if I have a positive PPD reading? You have to get a chest x-ray. A chest x-ray can be updated every2 to 3 years. 8. What is the difference between vaccines and blood titers? Vaccines are given if blood work or titers come back with negative results. For example “If mumps is negative, you will need a MMR booster vaccine and the same with a Hep B, Varicella new vaccine are required and new lab work.

  • Healthcare Resource
    Health Care Resource: Links between Pesticide Exposures and Mental Health Prepared by the Mental Health and Environment Working Group of the Collaborative on Health and the Environment www.healthandenvironment.org Mental Health Effects from Pesticide Exposure Exposure to pesticides can have behavioral and psychiatric consequences. The purpose of this resource is to help mental health clinicians and health care providers become aware of the association between pesticide exposure and these consequences and to provide links to relevant research findings. Many people are at risk of pesticide exposure, including those who: • work in agriculture, landscaping or other settings (such as grocery stores, schools, daycares and office buildings) in which pest problems are treated with chemicals; • live downwind from where aerial spraying of pesticides is done; • live in communities where spray and runoff can contaminate both surface and ground water; or • live in urban dwellings where pest control is used. Outside use may take months for the pesticide to degrade to half-life or roughly half potency. Indoors there are no degrading elements such as sunshine, soil or rain to degrade potency; these undegraded pesticides can be re-suspended into the air in dust particles. Health care providers should consider the possibility that the symptoms associated with mental health disorders, such as irritability, depression or anxiety, may be the result of acute or chronic pesticide exposure. No matter what the presenting ailment may be, clinicians who care for individuals either at risk of pesticide exposure or those with known exposure are encouraged to inquire about the presence of depression, anxiety, or any of the other symptoms listed below.

    Design, Synthesis, and Evaluation of Therapeutics for the Treatment of Organophosphorus Poisoning by Nerve Agents and Pesticides Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Andrew Joseph Franjesevic Graduate Program in Chemistry The Ohio State University 2019 Dissertation Committee Professor Christopher M. Hadad, Advisor Professor Thomas J. Magliery Professor David Nagib Professor Jonathan R. Parquette Copyrighted by Andrew Joseph Franjesevic 2019 2 Abstract Organophosphorus (OP) compounds, both pesticides and nerve agents, are some of the most lethal compounds known to man. Although highly regulated for both military and agricultural use in Western societies, these compounds have been implicated in hundreds of thousands of deaths annually, whether by accidental or intentional exposure through agricultural or terrorist uses. OP compounds inhibit the function of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE), and AChE is responsible for the hydrolysis of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh), and it is extremely well evolved for the task. Inhibition of AChE rapidly leads to accumulation of ACh in the synaptic junctions, resulting in a cholinergic crisis which, without intervention, leads to death. Approximately 70-80 years of research in the development, treatment, and understanding of OP compounds has resulted in only a handful of effective (and approved) therapeutics for the treatment of OP exposure. The search for more effective therapeutics is limited by at least three major problems: (1) there are no broad scope reactivators of OP-inhibited AChE; (2) current therapeutics are permanently positively charged and cannot cross the blood-brain barrier efficiently; and (3) current therapeutics are ineffective at treating the aged, or dealkylated, form of AChE that forms following inhibition of of AChE by various OPs.

Furlong: [email protected] aDept. of Medicine (Division of Medical Genetics), University of Washington, 98195 Seattle, WA, USA bDept. of Genome Sciences, University of Washington, 98195 Seattle, WA, USA Abstract Organophosphorus (OP) compounds include a broad group of toxic chemicals such as insecticides, chemical warfare agents and antiwear agents. The liver cytochromes P450 bioactivate many OPs to potent inhibitors of serine hydrolases. Cholinesterases were the first OP targets discovered and are the most studied. They are used to monitor human exposures to OP compounds. However, the assay that is currently used has limitations. The mechanism of action of OP compounds is the inhibition of serine hydrolases by covalently modifying their active-site serine. After structural rearrangement, the complex OP inhibitor-enzyme is irreversible and will remain in circulation until the modified enzyme is degraded. Mass spectrometry is a sensitive technology for analyzing protein modifications, such as OP-adducted enzymes.
