Allied Health Student Health and Safety Documentation Checklist
Clearance for Participation in Clinical Practice
It is essential that allied health students be able to perform a number of physical activities in the clinical portion
of their programs. At a minimum, students will be required to lift patients and/or equipment, stand for several
hours at a time and perform bending activities. Students who have a chronic illness or condition must be
maintained on current treatment and be able to implement their assigned responsibilities. The clinical allied
health experience also places students under considerable mental and emotional stress as they undertake
responsibilities and duties impacting patients’ lives. Students must be able to demonstrate rational and
appropriate behavior under stressful conditions.
I believe the applicant (print name): ______________________________________ Date: _____________

Hepatitis B Vaccination Declination
I understand that due to my exposure to blood or other potential infectious materials during the
clinical portion of my allied program, I may be at risk of acquiring Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection.
The health requirements for the allied health program in which I am enrolled, as described in the
Student Handbook, include the Hepatitis B vaccination series as part of the program’s
requirements. I have been encouraged by the faculty to be vaccinated with Hepatitis B vaccine;
however, I decline the Hepatitis B Vaccination at this time. I understand that by declining this
vaccine, I continue to be at risk of acquiring Hepatitis B, a serious disease. By signing this form, I
agree to assume the risk of a potential exposure to Hepatitis B virus and hold the Maricopa
Community College Allied Health Program as well as all health care facilities I attend as part of
my clinical experiences harmless from liability in the event I contract the Hepatitis B virus.
