Degree Requirements 294 The Maricopa Community Colleges Allied Health or Nursing Program (S-13) In collaboration and partnership with the health care community and its response to the dynamic changes occurring in the health care arena and health care practice, the Maricopa Community Colleges integrated the curriculum of all allied health and nursing programs. All allied health or nursing program pathways and educational offerings emphasize the achievement of relevant competencies and provide value to the individual, the employer, and the community. As a result, graduates of the various allied health or nursing program pathways will meet the community's demand for a flexible, multi-skilled health care workforce that meets employer and consumer needs. Refer to individual college catalogs for specific health care program pathways. For further information, http://healthcare.maricopa.edu is a comprehensive information source. Allied Health or Nursing Assumption of Risk/Release of Liability Most of the allied health or nursing program pathways include a program of study in a clinical training environment that may contain exposures to risks inherent in patient-oriented educational experiences (such as but not limited to bodily injury or communicable and infectious diseases). Students enrolling in clinical educational courses will be asked to sign a statement assuming all risks inherent in their coursework. Use of Confidential Information Students enrolled in allied health or nursing program pathways will have learning experiences in a health care setting where they will have access to confidential information. Prior to beginning any clinical studies, the students will be asked to sign an agreement to adhere to the requirements of those clinical sites and applicable law, including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). Allied Health or Nursing Program College Attendance As the allied health or nursing programs are integrated across the Maricopa Community Colleges, college of attendance requirements for the completion of the healthcare program pathways can be met through the completion of coursework taken at all Maricopa Community Colleges and Skills Centers.
