Medical Assisting Program Disqualifying Crimes

Background clearance includes the State of Washington and all other states and counties which the student has lived in for the past seven years.

Clinical Agency Requirements

Because LCC must comply with health care agency requirements, a positive finding or a pending charge in a background check may exclude the student from completing the medical assisting program. Some crimes disqualify a person from giving patient care. Clinical agencies retain the right to refuse placement to students with a history of certain offenses. For additional information, see Disqualifying Crimes.
