Academic Calendar 2007
(New Academic Choices)

All medical students will interact with vulnerable populations through the course of their academic programs. In recognition of the requirements of the clinical agencies to ensure that medical students do not place vulnerable populations at risk, the Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry (SSMD) requires that students provide, as a condition of admission into the MD program and its joint programs, a current Police Records Check and a Vulnerable Sector (Position) Screening. The Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry will review the "not clear" Police Checks and decide whether the information warrants a withdrawal of an offer of admission. The Police Records Check and Vulnerable Sector Screening can be obtained, at the applicant's expense, from the local police service. Applicants receiving an offer of admission from Schulich Medicine must submit copies of their current Police Records Check and Vulnerable Sector Screening to the Office of Admissions & Student Affairs no later than August 15. (Please visit the Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry Admissions (MD program) Web site for further details on obtaining the Police Records Check/Vulnerable Sector Screening, and on the process of reviewing a "not clear" Police Check.
