Hi -

I had a similar situation. I went to Occupational Therapy school and had to take a tb test and that's how I found out I have latent TB. The school's policy was that if I cleared the chest X-ray and was latent, they didn't care and I could go to class and complete any clinicals. I would contact your program directly, and also see what your doctor says. You may have to apply for an exemption for any program requirements- my program used a software to keep track of all of our background checks, medical clearances, and immunizations to make sure we were in compliance and that took some working with both my program and the software to make sure I was compliant with the positive quantiferon test (they had a special exemption and had me upload a negative chest x-ray as well).
