All domestic and international students, both new and returning, registered in any of the programs listed in the right navigation bar, are required to complete the mandatory program specific pre-placement health forms. These forms must be completed by the deadline in order for all students to be eligible for field and clinical placements during their current academic year. Failure to do so or to meet all listed requirements will result in exclusion from the program.
It is recommended that students start this process immediately upon confirmation of acceptance into the program; it may take up to 10 to 14 weeks for completion. The required health forms can be accessed by clicking on the specific program link on the right side of this page. Alternatively students may attend a scheduled information session for additional information. Completed forms may be checked by the Pre-Placement Health Coordinator prior to being submitted to ParaMed’s Requisite Office for final approval.
Medical immunization and laboratory blood test results
Please read carefully all the specific medical requirements written on the pre-placement health form. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that a doctor or healthcare professional properly completes, signs and stamps all health forms. If you do not have a family doctor, you may visit any Walk-in Clinic available in your area. Do not book an appointment with ParaMed’s Requisite Office until all medical requirements are completed and a healthcare professional has finalized the forms; arriving at a ParaMed appointment without the appropriate completed documents will result in charges of an additional service fee.
COVID-19 VACCINATION RECORDS
Some sectors continue to require proof of COVID-19 vaccination records such as in hospitals, long-term care facilities, childcare centres and other health care or community-based settings. These sectors, including learning environments at George Brown College, continue to follow public health, regulatory standards and best practices. Please see the your program specific Prerequisite Health Form documents for more information.
Vulnerable Sector Check, Standard First Aid, Basic Life Support & Mask Fit Test Certificates
If applicable to your program, you are also responsible to arrange, pay for and complete any/all additional non-medical requirements on your own time. Additional requirements are listed on the program specific forms.
Additional fees
Additional fees will be uploading your completed Health Form documents to the new ParaMed Requisite Portal, Two Step-TB Skin Tests; Varicella and Hepatitis B vaccines (Doctor’s fees); Standard First Aid and BLS/CPR HCP certifications; mask fit testing; and police check application forms. All additional costs and service fees associated with the overall health form requirements are responsibility of the student.
