Admissions Policy
Today’s allied health education requires that the accumulation of scientific knowledge be accompanied by the simultaneous acquisition of essential skills and professional attitudes and behavior. The goal of the Mayo School of Health Science (MSHS) programs is to graduate the best health care practitioners. Further, MSHS must also ensure that patients are not placed in jeopardy by students with impaired intellectual, physical or emotional functions. Therefore, admission to educational programs is offered only to those applicants who meet qualifications for education and training in the art and science of the respective allied health profession.
Applicants are judged not only on scholastic accomplishment, but also on the physical and emotional capacities to meet the program’s requirements and graduate as skilled and effective practitioners. They should possess the following general qualities:
- Critical thinking
- Sound judgment
- Excellent communication skills
- Emotional stability and maturity
- Empathy
- Physical and mental stamina
- Ability to learn and function in a wide variety of didactic and clinical settings
Students must be able to perform the essential functions of the profession and meet the standards of the curriculum. Those seeking exceptions to these standards or reasonable accommodations should initiate their request with the program director.
Fluency in written and spoken English is essential for success in the program and to ensure patient safety. Applicants must demonstrate objective competency in English through the admission interview and may be required to submit results from the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or equivalent examination.
Admissions committees for each program may require additional specific admission standards. Documentation of these program-specific standards is available from the program director.
Additional Admission Requirements
Applicants offered admission to MSHS programs must also comply with prevailing institutional policies and procedures regarding:
- Immunization
- Occupational Health Review and/or Physical Exam
- Background check
- Drug Screen
- Health Insurance
- Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Confidentiality, and other training deemed necessary by Mayo Clinic and/or the MSHS program.
Questions about these requirements can be directed to the MSHS school.
Failure to comply or to provide requested documentation is grounds for rescinding an admission offer or terminating admission.
Student responsibilities
Students are required to exhibit professional and ethical conduct at all times. If the student’s name, address or phone number should change after submitting his or her application, please contact the MSHS Enrollment and Student Services to update the record.
