Starting a placement

Placement prerequisites

The following prerequisites are required in order for a student to start a placement at North York General Hospital:

COVID-19 Vaccination

NYGH’s COVID-19 Immunization Policy requires every learner, physician, staff and volunteer to be fully vaccinated (2 weeks post second dose) except for those who have an approved medical or Ontario Human Rights Code exemption.  Proof of vaccination or exemption must be documented at the school.

Approved school exemptions must be submitted to NYGH for review & approval prior to commencing with a placement/rotation.  If you have an approved school exemption, contact cfe@nygh.on.ca or 416-756-6929 to inquire about our process for review and potential approval.  Please note this process may take several days. 

Mask fit testing

You must have completed mask fit testing within the past 24 months. The following information will be requested upon registration:

  • Date mask fitted
  • Location mask fitted
  • Size/Model

Immunizations

Your immunizations need to be up to date. This includes a TB test within the past 12 months. The hospital is not responsible for any expenses relating to immunization requirements. Students will not be allowed to start a placement without proper documentation. Seasonal influenza immunizations are highly recommended. Your rotation or placement may be affected if this is missing.

You will be asked to confirm your immunization status as well as your TB test results during the registration process. You will also be asked to upload completed immunization records during your registration process.
