Special Considerations for Health and Public Services Students

Hepatitis B inoculations are required for Medical Assisting, Medical Laboratory Technology, Dental Assisting and Nursing students. Students are responsible for payment of the vaccine. Upon enrollment, the student will receive information concerning the inoculation series and estimated costs.

Other tests and immunizations (including COVID) may be required in specific programs in the health-related areas and are detailed and explained on the physical examination forms per program.

Students who are exposed to blood and body fluids or blood-borne pathogens during clinical experiences will be required to participate, at their own expense, in post-exposure counseling, testing and medical follow-up. Failure to comply with these requirements will prohibit continued enrollment.
