The Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008 (GINA) prohibits employers and other entities covered by GINA Title II from requesting, or requiring, genetic information of an
individual or family member of the individual, except as specifically allowed by this law. To comply with this law, we are asking that you not provide any genetic information when
responding to this request for medical information. “Genetic information,” as defined by GINA, includes an individual’s family medical history, the results of an individual’s or family
member’s genetic tests, the fact that an individual or an individual’s family member sought or received genetic services, and genetic information of a fetus carried by an individual
or an individual’s family member or an embryo lawfully held by an individual or family member receiving assistive reproductive services.
Instructions:
Fill out the questionnaire completely and accurately. Keep in mind that all statements are subject to verification; deliberate inaccuracies or incomplete statements may
bar or remove you from employment. A “yes” answer does not necessarily mean that you will be disqualified.
This form must be completed and presented when reporting for your medical examination.
This medical history statement is confidential. If hired, the information you provide will be part of your medical record, separate from your personnel file.
