Required Clinical Documents for BScN Programs

Your choice of career path requires you to meet specific health and safety standards as outlined by Ontario law. The Ontario government and the organizations offering you professional placements have mandated specific medical and non-medical requirements that must be met by you, before you can begin any professional placements. These measures are there to protect you, your colleagues and those that you will serve in your placement. Lakehead University is committed to meeting standards of practice by ensuring that students attain and maintain required certifications and meet recommended immunization standards.
