As part of Moore Norman Technology Center's AUA Program, you will be required to practice your skills in facilities requiring background checks. Before you can be assigned to a hospital, clinic, or other facility for your clinical externship experience, you must have a background check that includes a sex offender check. If your criminal history is positive, the facility will then review your personal criminal history background. Each facility has the right to accept or reject any student based on information shown in the criminal history background check. Moore Norman Technology Center cannot overrule the decision of the clinical or externship sites.
