Welcome to the Maricopa Community Colleges Healthcare Education
website. This website is a great place to start if you are interested
in a healthcare career and want to learn more about the allied health and nursing programs offered at any of the ten Maricopa Community Colleges.
This website also has information for our healthcare faculty and
advisors, as well as for our healthcare community partners.
IMPORTANT NOTICE for all current and future healthcare students:
For all allied health and nursing students who seek to begin MCCCD healthcare programs on or after September 1, 2011, new background check standards will be in effect. Additionally, students who have been admitted to an MCCCD healthcare program or who are currently enrolled in one as of September 1, 2011 will be required to sign an MCCCD Criminal Background Check Disclosure Acknowledgement form. These changes are necessary due to the fact that six of eleven of MCCCD's largest clinical experience hospital partners have established stringent background check standards that preclude MCCCD from assigning students to those sites who cannot meet those standards. In order for MCCCD students to be able to continue to complete clinical experiences at local hospitals, students must meet these new standards.
PLEASE NOTE: Please review the posted documents again regarding background check requirement changes. There has been a change made by a local clinical agency regarding misdemeanor convictions that would lead to Fail on MCCCD Supplemental Background check.
On the prior documents it stated "Any other misdemeanor conviction within the last 4 years"
We have now received word from the clinical agency that should state: "Any other misdemeanor conviction within last 3 years"
