If offered an internship with AHCH, we require completion of a criminal background check, at no cost to you. While employment is contingent upon successful completion of a background check, a criminal conviction does not automatically prohibit employment. Eligibility for employment will be determined by the administration, in consultation with Human Resources. Similarly, applicants are expected to submit to a urinalysis drug screen.
