    Good morning all

    A Medical student in the Illawarra Region is applying for an elective term overseas. One requirement for this placement is to be able to provide evidence of being fit tested for an N95 respirator, as detailed below.

    “Proof of N95 Mask fitting*
    *Each student on a clinical placement is required to carry evidence that this standard has been met. It is expected that students from other universities will arrange to be fit
    tested with a 3M product prior to arrival, and will submit documentation from a registered fit testing program along with their immunization record. We cannot assure timely access to fit testing if this has not been achieved prior to arrival; please do not jeopardize your clinical elective.”
    Unfortunately our Local Health District does not provide this service. I am hoping that someone in NSW or the ACT could advise me of a place where this Medical Student could access this service.

    Thank you
    Beth
