Upon receiving a course assignment for summer On-Campus Programs, you will receive instructions for accessing and submitting CTY’s medical form. Every student attending summer On-Campus Programs must have a CTY Medical Form completed annually and signed by a physician. To access the form, log into MyCTY as a parent and select "On-Campus Programs" from the left navigation menu. Then select "CTY Medical Form."
The medical form requires emergency contact information, consent to treatment, immunization records, medical history, physical examination results, TB screening and test results (if applicable), allergies and adverse reactions, medical and prescription insurance information (if available), consent for CTY staff to distribute non-prescription medications, and information and consents for any medications your child needs to take while at CTY.
We do not accept alternate medical forms such as from the child’s school or another camp.
Physician Authorization
After filling in the required information, you will need to print a hard copy of the medical form and take it to your child’s physician for signature. The CTY medical form must be signed within 11 months of the program start date by a physician who has examined your child. The physical exam must have taken place within two years of the start of the program. Ask your physician whether another visit is necessary.
A signature on this form confirms your child’s medical history and their health to safely participate in the program. It also gives authorization for students to take prescription and non-prescription medications.
If you have extremely extenuating circumstances that do not allow you to have our Physician Authorization signed, you may write to ctyinfo@jhu.edu to request an exemption. An exemption is not guaranteed. If granted, you will still need to have medication form(s) signed by a physician if you wish for your child to receive medications during the program. Without these, our health staff cannot dispense any medications, prescription or nonprescription. Physician authorization is required even for very common medications such as cough drops or Tylenol.
