Immunization
As an entry requirement to Queen’s School of Medicine, students are
expected to provide documentation of immunization or immunity, as
listed in the Communicable Disease Screening Protocol.
After reviewing the Communicable Disease Screening Protocol please ensure that the Communicable Disease Screening Form is completed by a health care professional and submitted to the Undergraduate Medical Education Office.
Information Regarding Police Records Check Policy
All students who accept an offer of admission into a
Medical, Residency, Nursing or Rehabilitation Therapy program will
provide evidence of a Police Check and Vulnerable Sector Screening,
conducted at their expense, before they will be permitted to register
in the program.
The Schools will
make reasonable efforts to inform potential applicants of the
requirement to have a Police Check and Vulnerable Sector Screening and
that a “not clear” Police Check may result in withdrawal of an offer of
admission, or suspension or expulsion from the program.
An
applicant or student who submits false, misleading or incomplete
information about a criminal charge or criminal record may be subject
to sanction by the School and/or the University.
The
Ontario Human Rights Code permits the discrimination in the provision
of educational services on the basis of a criminal record, provided
that a pardon has not been granted under the Criminal Records Act.
Accordingly, it would not be a violation of the human rights code to
deny admission to the Faculty of Health Sciences to any individual who
has a criminal record.
Nevertheless,
universities are required to act fairly and reasonably when making
decisions that affect the rights and opportunities of others. As a
result, decisions which result in the denial of admission to or removal
from an academic program must be made thoughtfully, respecting the need
for due process.
