Any physical defects or limitations? Yes___ No___ If “Yes”, then please describe any health problems on the back of this sheet. Include duration, treatments and resolution of the problem(s).
Medical clearance is required on any health problem that could interfere with the ability of the student to meet the performance criteria of the program, endanger the safety of a client and/or jeopardize the health of the student if he/she attempts to meet the performance criteria.
There is no health insurance coverage provided for students by either the clinical facilities or North Arkansas College. Students are expected to be personally responsible for treatment needed due to accidental injury or health risks. Students are strongly advised to purchase personal health insurance and are encouraged to take the hepatitis B vaccine.
I understand that there are performance criteria (critical requirements) established for skills taught and that all students are expected to master these skills, e.g. psychomotor skills include: cardiopulmonary resuscitation for health care providers and the transfer of clients, which requires lifting and moving, according to the performance criteria. _________________________________ ______________________
