DMM Illness Protocols – Revised April 1, 2025

We value the health and safety of our students, staff, instructors, and host communities. Accordingly, we have designed safety guidelines for our instructors and students to follow. Keeping everyone safe is a shared responsibility; illness can have many downstream consequences. Simple preventative measures like masking, hand hygiene, and illness monitoring are essential.

On-Course Illness Guidelines

We will evaluate any instructor or student who feels ill on a case-by-case basis. Depending on signs and symptoms, test results, and physician advisement, folks may be able to continue the course while wearing appropriate PPE (mask and gloves). Students who test positive for COVID, the flu, or strep throat will be dismissed and transferred to a future course.

Note: If a student was recently diagnosed with COVID, they must be symptom-free and have a negative COVID test before joining a DMM course.

Mask and PPE Guidelines Open enrollment courses

Course participants will wear proper PPE during scenarios and skill stations. PPE is not necessary during lectures unless students are feeling ill. • Course participants will use hand sanitizer between every scenario and skill station.

Provider and Host courses • We will defer to our course providers and hosts for their company-specific guidelines.
