Programs in the Health Sciences Division prepare students for careers in healthcare.  All of our programs include clinical experiences as an essential component of the program.  In order to provide opportunities to adequately learn necessary skills and apply theory in an actual clinical setting, we partner with healthcare agencies in our community (acute care hospitals, rehabilitation hospitals, long-term care facilities, clinics, and a variety of other specialty agencies) for clinical experiences within their organizations.  These clinical sites have requirements for their employees and any persons in their facilities that are interacting with their patients or clients.  Our partner clinical agreements include clinical requirements for our students. 

These clinical requirements are not imposed by Ï㽶ÊÓƵ Health Sciences but by our clinical partners.  While failure to meet these requirements does not disqualify a student from any of our healthcare programs, it will limit the opportunity to participate in the clinical experiences that are required; and therefore make it impossible to complete the program.

All Health Science program students must comply with program Health and Safety Requirements prior to and continuously while enrolled.  Students will be required to submit documentation of all completed clinical requirements by the deadline established in their communications from the Health Sciences Division.  Complete documentation of requirements must be filed with the Health Sciences division office and kept current during enrollment.

In the interest of your own personal safety, the safety of your patients, and other healthcare providers, there are specific health and physical requirements that must be met before your admission to the program is finalized. These include:
