Allied Health Programs Pre-Course Information

Clinical experience is a crucial part of the learning experience and UCC is committed to student success. As such, UCC has partnered with numerous clinical facilities around the county. As guests in these facilities students are expected to follow the policies and procedures as if they were an employee of the site.

This requires Allied Health Students at their own expense to submit/obtain each of the following (please note, all costs will be invoiced to student accounts, except CPR. What this means is students will not have to pay for these things upfront. Those expenses will be placed on student accounts and students will be responsible for payment, however this allows students to use financial aid or scholarships to help pay for these costs).

Criminal Background Check ($95)

Drug Screen ($55)

Tuberculosis Testing ($25/each; Students need two;  $50)

Uniforms (~$130)

CPR/Basic Life Support (BLS) for Healthcare Providers (varies)

Students are required to have and maintain through their program a current Healthcare Provider CPR Card. The only card that is accepted is shown below (or an RQI card):

Students who are not vaccinated against Covid-19 must submit an Oregon Health Authority Medical or Religious exemption.
