Applicant Background Checks & Compliance Tracking
Why am I required to have a background check/drug screen done?Nationwide the Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Health Care Organizations (JCAHO) has mandated that clinical agencies possess background checks and/or drug screens on their employees, contract personnel, and student volunteers.
I completed a background check through the CAS system when I applied to the program. Can I use this background check?Yes, Doctor of Pharmacy and Doctor of Physical Therapy students may use the background check completed through the PharmCAS and PTCAS systems. Students should obtain a copy of their background check and upload it to Complio. Copies can be obtained by logging into your myCertiphi account at: www.certifiedprofile.com.
I am a post-licensure nursing student and understand I can submit my employer’s current comprehensive drug screen. What does comprehensive mean?A comprehensive drug screen is a current drug screen, done within 364 days of the start of your program, and includes negative results for the following drug classes: amphetamines, barbiturates, benzoidiazepines, cannabinoids, cocaine, methadone, opiates, propoxyphene and phencyclidine.
