What licenses can you get in Utah with a criminal background?

I know they are more strict about background which makes complete sense. I’m not looking to become a physician or pharmacist, I already know those are out of the picture. My family is full of either healthcare workers or cops, it’s something I grew up with and I found interest in. I had a struggle with mental health when I was just barely an adult and made decisions that will affect my whole life. I have mostly simple misdemeanors, but I do have one felony I spent a few months in jail for (nothing violent, sex or drug related) I quit drinking and dropped old friends to better myself. I’m doing really well now and want to start going to college so I have something to lean back on that’s a little better than the job I have now. I’m super interested in healthcare but ofc there’s roadblocks so I’m looking for something I could do that I might be able to be certified if I explain to the board the changes I’ve made. My thoughts on what I’m most interested in are: Radiology tech Surgical tech Dental assisting/dental hygiene Respiratory therapy Has anyone with a criminal background accomplished any of these? Especially in Utah? I understand I might just have to drop the dream and find a more background friendly career path, just looking if there’s any hope.
