TSB CLINIC
 

The Tennessee School for the Blind is staffed with 6 nurses who are focused upon preventing illness and injury, promoting health, and assisting with rehabilitation.  The nurses are responsible for assisting physicians, dispensing medications, providing treatments, and attending to sick or injured students. The clinic also offers yearly flu vaccination at no cost to TSB students. TSB employs three medical physicians.  An ophthalmologist exams each student every year for vision certification, athletic participation, and for treatment of any minor eye problem that develops while at school. A dentist offers dental exams and subsequent treatment for any minor problems.  A medical doctor is available to treat minor illness and injuries, offer limited physicals for athletic participation and offer medical advice to nursing staff.
