The number of students admitted into the program each year will vary according to resources available. Credit may be given for prior learning.

Post acceptance requirements for students selected include a physical examination; MMR immunizations; Hepatitis B vaccines; proof of 2 step TB skin test; criminal background check; and American Heart Association Healthcare Provider Course. All students must agree to be randomly tested for drugs at any point and time while enrolled in any healthcare program. The student is responsible for all expenses associated with testing. All Healthcare Education Division students must submit to and satisfactorily complete a criminal background check. Admission may be rescinded and reversed based on review of the students’ criminal background check. Students who refuse to submit to a criminal background check or do not pass the criminal background check review will be dismissed from the program. Students who are dismissed from a Healthcare Education Division program may seek admission into another educational program.
