Shenandoah University — Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies
Shenandoah PA (PA) requires Tuberculosis (TB), MMR, Varicella, Hepatitis B, Tdap / Td, and Influenza. Practiclear may help document 4 of these in a single Virginia draw (TB Screening Documentation, MMR Immunity Profile, Varicella IgG, Hep B Surface Antibody) — see matched products below. Documents typically upload via Wilkins Wellness Center health forms (university); SUPA program-specific compliance overlay. Health Form packet (pages 1-5; page 6 only for prior/active TB) and insurance card before classes; PA program's 30-month curriculum begins in June; clinical sites enforce additional pre-rotation requirements.

Shenandoah PA requirements
Common questions about Shenandoah PA requirements
Does Shenandoah PA accept QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus for TB screening?
Yes — Shenandoah PA's published clinical-clearance requirements list interferon-gamma release assays (IGRA / QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus) among accepted TB screening tests. See the school's published source for the complete list of accepted tests.
Does Shenandoah PA accept titers as proof of immunity?
Yes — Shenandoah PA's published immunization requirements accept quantitative titers as evidence for MMR, Varicella, and Hepatitis B surface antibody. Practiclear can order these titers in one Virginia draw and issue clinician-signed documentation when the reviewed result supports the requirement. The school's source page lists the exact accepted evidence.
Does Shenandoah PA require a Hep B post-series antibody titer?
Yes — Shenandoah PA's published Hepatitis B requirement includes a post-series surface antibody (anti-HBs) titer to confirm vaccine response. The school's published source describes the exact evidence required.
Where do Shenandoah PA students upload immunization and clearance documentation?
Shenandoah PA uses Wilkins Wellness Center health forms (university); SUPA program-specific compliance overlay. Practiclear provides clinician-signed documentation as a PDF that students upload through the school's existing process; Practiclear does not submit documentation on the student's behalf.
What is the clinical-clearance deadline at Shenandoah PA?
Shenandoah PA's published requirements describe their clearance deadline cadence — typically tied to clinical-rotation start dates and reviewed each academic term. Specific deadlines change by cohort and program track; confirm with Shenandoah PA's published source for the current term. Practiclear cannot guarantee delivery against any specific institutional deadline.
