Health Requirements in the Nuclear Medicine Technology Program

In addition to other clinical clearance requirements, Allied Health Sciences’ students must complete a drug test and initial background check through the program's approved vendor, prior to participating in clinical learning experiences. Clearance requirements vary by clinical site and are subject to change at any time. Students are responsible for all costs associated with the drug test and background check, along with all other clinical clearance procedures. Students entering the clinical sequence of an Allied Health Sciences’ program curriculum will be informed as to the timeline and deadline for completion of all clinical clearance requirements.

Students must be aware that clinical placement sites reserve the right to deny, in their sole discretion, a student's clinical placement based upon the results of the background check, drug screening, noncompliance with safety or vaccination requirements, or other site-specific requirements. Procedures related to clearance for clinical experiences are documented in each respective Allied Health Sciences’ program student handbooks. The Molloy University Barbara H. Hagan School of Nursing and Health Sciences ("The School") is not responsible for the clinical ineligibility of any student for any reason, including but not limited to whether a history of conviction, potential drug use, or to other circumstances which were disclosed to the School of the University prior to the student's matriculation. If a student's clinical placement at a clinical site is denied, the School does not guarantee the availability of an alternative clinical placement. The School or University is under no obligation to affirmatively seek out additional clinical placement sites that may be willing to accept a student who has been denied a clinical placement. If a student cannot be placed in an established clinical site for any reason, including, but not limited to, a failed background check or drug test, clinical clearance, or other finding, he/she will not be able to complete the Allied Health Sciences’ program and will therefore be removed and dismissed from the Allied Health Sciences’ program.
