Adopted
Last Reviewed

The President shall establish administrative procedures related to medical examinations of candidates for appropriate positions prior to assuming the duties of the position.  Such pre-employment medical examinations may only be required after a conditional job offer has been made, and shall be required of any candidate for a position for which a pre-employment medical examination has been deemed appropriate.  No candidate shall be required to participate in such an examination solely on the basis of the candidate’s age or disability.  The procedures may require any employee to undergo a physical or mental examination where such a fitness for duty exam is job related and consistent with business necessity.  Such medical examinations shall be at Lane Community College’s expense and shall be conducted by a physician chosen by Lane Community College.

The College shall not use or disclose Protected Health Information, as such term is defined in 45 CFR 160.103, except to effectuate this policy or as authorized by the individual or required by law.

These policies are reviewed by the Board at least every five years or more often as needed. Board Policies are distinct from College Operating Policies and Procedures (COPPS), which provide operational guidance and are developed through governance processes and by responsible managers.
