For New Students: Before You Arrive

If you are about to begin a placement at Mount Sinai there are a number of things you need to be aware of. We highly recommended that you become familiar with MSH policies, guidelines and departments that will support your clinical placements.  

Also, before you start, these items should be addressed:


Confidentiality Forms

All students must sign a confidentiality form before beginning their placement. Forms are given to students by the school placement office and completed forms are forwarded by the school placement office to Mount Sinai Hospital.
 

WSIB Forms

WSIB forms are required for all students and are available through your placement office. Forms must be completed and signed by student and faculty before you begin your placement.
 

Mask fit testing

All students must have a valid Fit Test Card prior to starting placement.
 

Vaccination/Immunity

All students must be immunized according to the Public Hospital Act and students may be asked to show proof of immunization status. Please make sure you have the proper documentation ready.
 

Mount Sinai Hospital Photo ID

All students and clinical instructors are required to wear Mount Sinai Hospital Photo ID while on placement here. Appointments are made by your placement office to occur on your first day of placement.
 

Computer Training

Every student must complete a training session for PowerChart and our patient management system to access our patient records. Find out how to begin your training.
