Because a criminal history can have different effects at the educational and employment levels, when a person is considering pursuing a health career, it is best to have as much information as possible prior to deciding to enroll in a health program. Manhattan Tech encourages individuals who have criminal histories and who are interested in pursuing a health career to:

Contact approved MLT education programs and ask about the programs’ enrollment criteria with respect to criminal convictions; AND
Contact healthcare facilities and inquire about hiring criteria with respect to criminal convictions.
