Admission Advice
1. The program ranks students according to academic preparedness and non-academic qualities including situational judgement, proven to be reliable predictors of personal commitment and future professional behaviours. Applicants with the highest overall rankings are offered seats in the program. This process enhances students’ likelihood of program success and future employability.
2. Recommended immunizations are found on the Health Sciences Placement Network of Canada website by searching for immunization guidelines. Failure to comply with immunization guidelines could impact a student’s ability to successfully complete the clinical/practicum placement and/or a clinical/community rotation.
3. Students must provide their own transportation, meals, and accommodations while completing their clinical placement.
