Every program with clinicals, from nursing and radiography to respiratory therapy, surgical technology, medical lab, PTA and OTA, dental hygiene, EMS and medical assisting, answers to each clinical site’s own requirement list. This page collects verified Georgia facts for program directors and clinical coordinators, including the Technical College System of Georgia, with a link to each official source, and shows how Drug Free Schools helps.

What this means for your program
When a clinical site or an accreditation reviewer asks for a student’s records, you need them in one place and current, not spread across email, paper folders and spreadsheets. One record per student, with dates and documents together, answers the question in minutes. Your clinical sites and affiliation agreements still decide the exact list; the free requirements checklist covers what programs most often collect.
How Drug Free Schools helps Georgia programs
One clinical compliance tracking portal for every program at your school ($30 per student, one time; every upload reviewed within 24 hours), plus drug screens on campus or at any Quest location, name-based background checks and on-campus N95 fit testing. See pricing.
Drug Free Schools does not take fingerprints. Our background checks are name-based. If the Georgia Board of Nursing or a clinical site requires a fingerprint check, students use the provider it names, such as Fieldprint, IdentoGO or the local police department.
