Policies and Responsibilities
The following Mayo School of Health Sciences policies affect applications and admissions to its programs:
English fluency
Fluency in written and spoken English is essential to succeed in the program and to ensure patient safety. If English is a second language, you must be able to demonstrate fluency. Satisfactory performance on the Test of English as a Foreign Language examination or the Michigan Test of English Language Proficiency must be documented as proof of fluency. Your test results must be less than two years old.
Immunization record
For the protection of patients, residents and employees, and in compliance with state regulations, Mayo Clinic requires residents to be properly immunized. You must show proof of the following immunizations before you begin a program at Mayo School of Health Sciences:
- Tuberculin test in the past six months
- Varicella, rubella and rubeola immunity
- Up-to-date diphtheria and tetanus shots
- Hepatitis B vaccination or signed declaration
Documentation of vaccinations must be provided to Mayo Employee Health Service prior to the start of the program.
Health status
Prospective residents will undergo a nurse’s review at Mayo Clinic and will have the opportunity to update or receive the required tests and immunizations cited above. More information about the review will be provided after you have been offered a program appointment. Appointment to the program depends upon successful completion of the health review.
Medical insurance
Residents must have medical insurance coverage during their program. Resident medical insurance can be purchased through Mayo Clinic.
You can also choose to have your medical insurance covered through other, non-Mayo plans (i.e., insurance held through a parent or spouse, or an independent commercial plan). Evidence of medical coverage must be provided when your educational program begins.
Background check
Prospective residents must pass a criminal background check and/or drug screening required by state laws, prior to enrollment to Mayo School of Health Sciences.
Resident responsibilities
Residents are required to exhibit professional and ethical conduct at all times.
