Clinicals
The program of study that you have selected has a required clinical component for graduation. Each clinical placement has site specific requirements which may include COVID-19 vaccination requirements. There is a limited availability for clinical sections that accept waivers for COVID-19 vaccinations. It is the student's responsibility to register for sections that allow waivers for COVID-19 vaccinations. Clinical requirements are subject to change with little or no notice.
After Acceptance
After acceptance AND prior to practicum courses:
- Order Medical Document Manager ONLY (health forms/records and CPR). Upon completing your order, the required health forms, as well as the CPR and Advanced Cardiac Life Support requirements, will need to be uploaded.
