Background Check and Drug Screening​
​
Many internship facilities that accept our students and potential employers require a criminal and/or personal background check to be placed in their facility. Additionally, facilities and employers may require candidates to submit to a drug test. This may cause a facility to not accept a student based the criteria and outcome of the background check and/or drug test. Students with criminal records that include felonies or misdemeanors, including those that are drug related, might not be accepted by an internship facility or employer. Internship and employment decisions are outside the control of Midwest Institute. The Massage Therapy, Pharmacy Technician and Surgical Technology program requires a criminal background check to attain licensure. If a student is denied licensure they will have to be terminated from the program.
