Every student attending a day or residential course must complete a CTY Medical Form annually and have it authorized by a physician.

  

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.

  

After enrolling in a day or residential course you will receive an email from CampDoc. Click “Accept Invite” to log in and access the medical form. If you have used CampDoc with CTY in previous years, you can navigate directly to CampDoc’s website and sign in to access the form. If you do not remember your password, click the forgot password button and enter the primary email address on your MyCTY account.

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 course 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 course. Ask your physician whether another visit is necessary.


A signature on this form confirms your child’s medical history, vaccination record, 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, email 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.
