Drug-Free Learning Environment 

To assure a drug-free learning environment, the Anesthesia Program prohibits the unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensation, possession or use of illegal and/or controlled substances and/or alcoholic beverages. Anesthesia students will undergo a drug/alcohol screen along with their entrance physical examination as required by Hurley Medical Center. Drug/alcohol screening may be requested of a student at any time during the program if there is cause to believe that substance abuse is affecting a student’s ability to perform his/her duties.
