Why do I have to complete a drug screen?

While there is no single entity solely responsible for dictating how the institution must conduct drug screenings, the combination of state regulations, accreditation standards, and clinical site requirements collectively shape these policies. Axon Education must navigate these guidelines to ensure it remains in compliance while providing a safe learning and clinical environment for its students.

Several influential bodies regarding the requirements for drug screening include:
  1. Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS)
  2. Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP) and Committee on Accreditation of Educational Programs for the Emergency Medical Services Professions (CoAEMSP)
  3. Local Clinical Sites and Healthcare Facilities
