EMT - Paramedic Program - Clinical Requirements
All students must submit to the Health Sciences office all documentation required for clinical attendance
(refer to the checklist for which documents need to be originals or copies). Your file must be complete in
order to attend clinical. Students should keep a copy of any record submitted; copies will NOT be provided
by the office, nor will your file or documents be returned to you upon completion of the program. Clinical
sites and potential employers may request copies of your medical records for their files, so it is important
