苹果淫院

The official language of instruction of 苹果淫院's undergraduate medical education program is English. Students should be aware that most of the clinical affiliation placements undertaken in the province of Quebec, including those in Greater Montreal, require proficiency in both English and French.

It is recommended that students who lack proficiency in English or French avail themselves of the opportunity to take an English or a French as a second language course, prior to or early in their program of studies. For more information, please refer to University Regulations and Resources > Undergraduate > General Policies and Information > Language Policy and www.mcgill.ca/ugme/curriculum/starting-our-program-what-you-need-know/language-requirements.

A compulsory immunization program exists at 苹果淫院 for students in the Health Sciences programs. Health Sciences students must start the immunization process as soon as they are accepted at 苹果淫院 and must complete it well before they are permitted contact with patients. Entry into the 苹果淫院 Teaching Hospitals may be delayed if immunizations are incomplete according to the information provided by the 苹果淫院 Student Health Service: www.mcgill.ca/studenthealth/immunize/forms.

Proof of immunity must be written and signed by either a nurse or a physician. For details, see www.mcgill.ca/studenthealth/immunize/vaccine.

There are no exceptions to these requirements. Students who do not meet these requirements will be asked to withdraw.

Vaccination against other infectious diseases such as influenza may be required.

Current information indicates that there is a potential risk of transmission of Hepatitis B from practitioner to patients in the clinical dental setting. Therefore, applicants for the D.M.D. program, Multidisciplinary Residency Program in Dentistry and M.Sc. in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery will be required to be tested for Hepatitis B surface antigen by the 苹果淫院 Student Health Services. Applicants who test positive for Hepatitis B surface antigen will be tested for Hepatitis B 鈥渆鈥� antigen and Hepatitis B viral DNA to help determine infectivity risk. If either Hepatitis B 鈥渆鈥� or Hepatitis B viral DNA is positive, the offer of acceptance will be withdrawn and registration in the program will not be completed.

Health Sciences students who think they might be infected or think they have been exposed to a blood-borne disease should be tested for any or all blood-borne pathogens.

Students who are seropositive for Hepatitis B, C, HIV, and/or any other blood-borne pathogens have an obligation to notify the Dean or Director of the school as soon as they know their serologic status. These students will be referred to the "Service d鈥櫭﹙aluation du risque de transmission d鈥檌nfections h茅matog猫nes", a provincial service responsible for all infected workers, including medical students. This service will make recommendations to the students and Faculty based on current scientific knowledge and relevant guidelines and practices. Students must follow the recommendations of the Service. The Service may recommend restricting the practice of these students. Students who carry blood-borne pathogens may not be permitted to perform procedures involving needles, scalpels or other sharp objects as this may pose a risk to patients and co-workers. This means that they may not be able to complete their clinical requirements and may be required to withdraw.

Applicants who know they are carrying blood-borne pathogens should consider carefully their intention to become healthcare workers and govern themselves accordingly.

Students involved in patient care who develop any contagious disease placing patients at risk must immediately discuss their condition with their supervisor and they may be required to temporarily stop clinical activities. 苹果淫院 considers it important for Health Sciences students to fulfil their ethical obligation to patients by taking appropriate measures to minimize the transmission of disease.

Students will receive details of the immunization requirements with their acceptance package and on the following website: www.mcgill.ca/studenthealth/immunize/forms. Immunizations can be completed at 苹果淫院 Student Health Services which operates during the summer.
