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, a current Police Records Check and a Vulnerable Sector (Position) Screening.

The Police Records Check includes an examination of the data base of the Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC), Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP). An explanation of information searched by the Police Records Check and Vulnerable Sector Screening is listed in the Web site: www.hamiltonpolice.on.ca/HPS/Services/Records/CriminalRecordsSearch.htm
