CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECKS AND DRUG SCREENING POLICY:
MedCerts does not perform criminal background checks, nor do we test students for illicit drug use. Please be advised that while MedCerts does not perform these checks, the student’s drug, criminal, or immunization status may prevent clinical/externship placement and future employment as a healthcare or IT professional. Externship sites, employers, and State Boards of Pharmacy or other regulatory boards have regulations about immunizations, drug use, and criminal backgrounds. Regulatory boards, externship sites, employers, and other organizations that may require these screenings for placement, and adverse results may prohibit you from moving forward in the program. Candidates with a felony conviction are not eligible to participate in ANY MedCerts program that includes the Pharmacy Technician certification as a primary or secondary certification.

The student understands that MedCerts does not hold any control over the drug, immunization, criminal, or background screening processes or policies held by any organization outside of MedCerts.

Upon 100% completion of this program, students will receive a “MedCerts Certificate of Program Completion.” This is proof of completion of training but isn’t a nationally recognized certification. Students are expected to take and pass the national certification exam through the issuing authority for recognized certification in their field.
