What do I need to complete if I am accepted? 
All applicants will be notified about a month after applying.  If you are accepted to the MA program, you must complete all the requirements detailed on this page (PDF) as well as all items listed in the acceptance packet.  You should also be prepared to pay a $50, non-refundable, acceptance fee.

What else should I know before applying?

• Acceptance to WVC does not guarantee acceptance to the MA program.
• If you leave the MA program for any reason, contact the Director of the MA program to discuss your re-entry options at (509) 682-6667.
• On-the-job physical requirements include the ability to lift 50 pounds, carry 20 pounds, sit for 4 hours, and stand for 8-12 hours.
• Conviction of certain crimes may prevent completion of the clinical requirements of the program and may prevent future licensure and employment in health care.  A criminal record check is required prior to any clinical training experience or clinical field trips.  If you have a criminal record, meet with the Dean of Allied Health ((509) 682-6660) to determine if your criminal history would prevent access to a health care facility.
  • To determine if the criminal record would prevent eligibility to take the national exam, visit the AAMA website and download information from the "ethics" section.
