Current Students
Upon Acceptance to the program
Upon acceptance, successful applicants will be required to provide detailed medical information, including a record of up-to-date completion of required immunizations. These requirements must be fulfilled in order to meet the Health Standards set forth in the Public Hospitals Act, Section 4.2, Ontario Regulation 518/88. Evidence of Basic Cardiac Life Support certification (Adult and Child CPR) must also be provided. Students are required to have a valid CPR certificate throughout the two-year program. Students are responsible for submitting a copy of the certificate (front and back) as evidence of their recertification. A Vulnerable Persons Criminal Record Check (obtained at the applicant’s expense) is required upon entering the program with annual update.
As students in the PA program will be participating in clinical observerships in the first semester of the program, all requirements must be met before entry into the program.
