CPR Training is required for 2nd-4th yr. students (and we strongly recommend it for 1st yr. students as well). There are multiple forms of CPR training available, but the College recommends American Heart Association - Basic Life Support (BLS) for Health Care Providers. This certification is valid for two years from the date of instruction. Here is a list of training opportunities available in Minnesota.
Immunizations:
Students can see their immunization status on the MY U portal (www.myu.umn.edu), click on "MyU Space." Please contact Boynton Health Service for questions regarding the AHC immuniation policy. Visit the Boynton Health Service website to access the immunization form. Students who are not in compliance with the AHC immunization policy will have a registration hold placed on their record.

Mandatory Health Insurance for AHC Students
All pharmacy students will be automatically enrolled in Boynton Health Service's health insurance for AHC students unless they provide certification proving they are covered by adequate health insurance. Please visit Boynton's website www.bhs.umn.edu/insurance/ahc.htm for more information on the requirements and the coverage of this insurance.
HIPAA Training
All pharmacy students are required to complete a series of training modules including Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) training. This is part of a broader online module entitled "Public Jobs, Private Data" which encompasses aspects of information privacy. Students can complete this training online - please visit www.myu.umn.edu and click on the "MyU Space" link.
Background Checks
In accordance with state law, the College of Pharmacy performs criminal background checks on all enrolled students each year. Students who fail the background check may be prevented from curricular activities involving patient contact. Please contact the Minnesota Department of Health for more information on criminal background checks.
Internships
The state of Minnesota requires students obtain 400 hours of internships (in addition to 4th yr. APPEs) in specific duties before becoming licensed as a pharmacist. Please consult the Minnesota Board of Pharmacy for more information.
