Instructions for Obtaining Your Background Check for Clinical Education Program: The hospitals associated with our clinical education program require background checks on incoming students to ensure the safety of the patients treated by students in the program. You will be required to order your background check in sufficient time for it to be reviewed by the hospital prior to starting your clinical rotation. A background check typically takes 3 normal business days to complete.

Complete all required fields and hit Continue to enter your payment information. The payment of $48.50 (plus state tax for students living in Texas) can be made securely online with a credit or debit card.
