Frequently Asked Questions

Which documents or forms do I submit?

Review the eligibility requirements above to confirm the documents and forms you need before applying.

What does an allied health instructor do?

An allied health instructor has teaching experience in a healthcare-related field and exhibits their commitment to professional career achievements while also demonstrating the value and importance of certifications to their students. AHI credential holders also receive all the benefits of AMT membership.

What must the Letter of Recommendation include?

The three letters of recommendation must verify at least two years of healthcare-related teaching experience within the last five years.

Each letter must:

  • Be written on institutional or company letterhead
  • Be signed and dated
  • Include the beginning and ending dates of your teaching experience
  • Be written by a dean, program director, fellow instructor, or equivalent individual who can verify your experience

Your teaching experience must have been completed in an educational or instructional setting, such as a university, career college, or technical school. Include your full name and AMT identification number when submitting the letters.

What education documents do I need to submit?

Submit copies of your transcripts showing your completed education or highest degree earned. Your program, coursework, or degree must be related to the healthcare field, such as physical science, biological science, health science, or allied health.

Education that is not related to healthcare will not satisfy this requirement.

What certification documents do I need to submit?

Submit proof of your current, active professional certification directly related to the healthcare field you teach. The documentation must identify the issuing certification organization and show that your certification is active and has not expired.

A certification unrelated to your field of instruction will not satisfy this requirement.
