FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
General Questions
Is OMT licensed? Yes, Oregon Medical Training (OMT) is licensed by Oregon’s Higher Education Coordinating Commission (HECC). This licensure ensures that OMT meets the state’s high standards for educational quality and accountability. Being licensed provides students with confidence that our programs are recognized and meet regulatory requirements, making their training credible to employers and other institutions. Additionally, licensure reflects our commitment to maintaining professional and ethical standards, giving students a solid foundation for pursuing a career in the medical field.
What percentage of our students pass the NHA exam? We take great pride in the fact that over 97% of our students successfully pass the NHA certification exam!
What are the dates for the next term? We offer phlebotomy, EKG and pharmacy programs throughout the academic year (except summer). Terms typically start at the beginning of January, May and September.
Do we require a background check? While we do not require a background check, your future employers might. We recommend that you check with possible employers to see if they require a background check and what their policies are. However, for those interested in becoming a pharmacist you will have to have your fingerprints recorded and you will have a background check done in order to become a licensed pharmacy technician.
Financial Questions
Do we accept FAFSA? Our private career school has chosen not to accept FAFSA due to the significant administrative burden and compliance requirements involved, which would divert resources from our core educational activities. Accepting FAFSA would also increase federal oversight and regulation, limiting our operational flexibility. Additionally, the time and costs associated with becoming eligible for FAFSA are considerable, and adhering to federal guidelines could impact our ability to tailor programs to our students' specific needs.
Is tuition eligible for tax deduction? Our private career school cannot issue a 1098-T form for tuition reimbursement because we do not participate in federal financial aid programs, which is a key requirement for eligibility to provide this form. By focusing on maintaining our licenses through state and national organizations, we prioritize delivering high-quality, affordable education without the added complexities of federal financial aid compliance.
