inspected before entry onto the campus. All visitors must present picture
identification (i.e., driver's license, passport, government or military
identification) and go through a metal detector and personal property
inspection (purses, briefcases, back packs, etc.) to enter the Clinical Center.
Please allow plenty of time because inspection areas can be very congested
early in the morning. For information regarding campus security procedures,
