Emergency Medical Technician and Paramedic Policy, Standard and Timing for Drug Screening and Background Checks

This policy applies to all students applying for admission to the Emergency Medical Technology Program and is at the student’s own expense.

All drug screen tests and background checks, as required by the programs, must be conducted, and negative results received after acceptance but prior to enrollment in the program to which the student is applying must be verified.

Negative 11-panel Drug Screen and Criminal Background Check must be completed through mystudentcheck.com no more than 90 days prior to the program start date. Results are automatically sent to the EMS Program Director or designee.
