Students accepted to Medicine and Health Care will be required to provide proof of immunizations (additional vaccines above the requirements for public school enrollment are necessary), receive the annual flu vaccine, complete regimen of the Covid-19 vaccine, submit to a drug screen and complete a background check.  Please see our website or your school nurse for a complete list of required vaccines and meet with your school nurse to discuss what you are in need of.  I understand that full admittance to the program is not possible until all documentation has been received by GO CAPS.
