Any student with a change in health status, for example, surgery, pregnancy, serious illness, or injury, which requires special considerations, will provide the admissions coordinator and the clinical coordinator with a completed Health Status Update Report prior to attending the clinical area. The Health Status Update should include the following information:
- Current written permission from the health care provider to complete the activities of the given semester in which the student is currently enrolled.
- A written statement by the health care provider indicating activity limitations or restrictions.
- Students with documented special circumstance/disability are expected to adhere to all AHS or Pre-DMS program requirements; including, attendance procedures, technical standards, and meeting the competencies and expectations of each Healthcare Science course.
Students that are in a substance abuse treatment program must submit periodic Health Status Update Reports, as described in the current MCHP college catalog, and as required by the Health Professions Admissions Department.
If a new or recurrent health problem/limitation is identified at any time during enrollment in the AHS or Pre-DMS programs, the faculty reserves the right to require a Health Status Report on an ongoing basis (including pregnancy) or submission of a Health Examination Record indicating that the student can meet the technical standards and competency expectations.
