Additional Information

You will be required to complete a Certified Criminal Background Check prior to enrollment into internship or clinical experience. Do not submit these records until you are asked to provide them to your instructors.

Students will be required to electronically submit clinical documentation, which includes immunizations and COVID vaccination, when accepted into core courses or clinical placement.

**Just a note about Medical Assistant classes:** You can apply for the program starting in any term. You can take the required *general education classes *at any Fox Valley Tech location that offers them, including Appleton or Oshkosh. 
However, *program-specific classes* are only offered in Appleton for Spring (January) term and in Oshkosh for Fall (August) term. Again, you can still apply for any term. Please contact Admissions with questions.

You must have approved documentation of required immunizations and TB testing prior to enrollment in the internship.

The practicum or internship is a supervised **unpaid** clinical experience.

Students must obtain a C grade in each required general education and core course. If a C grade is not obtained, you will be required to repeat the course.

Criminal activity reported will be communicated to healthcare agencies which provide student clinical and internship opportunities. Healthcare agencies have the legal right to deny a clinical or internship experience based on crimes committed. Completion of your program cannot be guaranteed if your criminal history precludes you from completing any clinical or internship experience.
