Legal Considerations for Pre-Professional Students

Effective July 1, 2004, Section 37-29-232 of the Mississippi Code requires that 学生 enrolled in a healthcare professional academic program undergo fingerprinting 和 a criminal background check before any clinical rotation in a licensed health care facility may occur. The background check typically occurs after the student completes an interview at the professional school. Some 学生 are denied entrance into healthcare professional programs because of criminal incidents from their past or failing to report those incidents on applications.
