Mask Fit Testing
Students must have a valid mask fit test prior to experiential placements in Year 4 of the program/APPE placements. The mask fit testing documentation must be valid until the end of Year 4. Students in Year 2 of the program may require mask fit testing depending on the site requirement of their placement. The OEE will organize mask fit testing for students at the Faculty each year. Students are not required to complete their mask fit testing through the OEE provider and may complete the testing on their own. Students must provide proof of completion of testing to OEE.
Police Record Check/Vulnerable Sector Screening (PRC/VSS)
Pharmacy students, as part of their curriculum, will have experiential placements (rotations) at various pharmacy practice settings. At some of these, students may work directly with, or in close proximity to, children or vulnerable persons. To protect these groups and maintain their safety, sites may require Pharmacy students to obtain a Police Record Check or Vulnerable Sector Screening. This requirement is determined by individual sites and not by the Faculty.
