Medical surveillance includes preplacement physical examinations, annual medical examinations, exit examinations and evaluations for exposure or potential exposure during the course of work. Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) will be defined and integrated as necessary into the Boston University Medical Center's Emergency Preparedness Procedures
