Required Clinical Documents for BScN Programs In Partnership with Synergy Gateway
Why Are Clinical Documents Important?
As part of your chosen career path, you are required to meet specific health and safety standards outlined by Ontario law. The Ontario government and the organizations providing your professional placements mandate that certain medical and non-medical requirements be fulfilled before you can begin any placement. These measures are in place to protect you, your colleagues, and the individuals you will serve.
Lakehead University is committed to upholding these standards by ensuring that students obtain and maintain the necessary certifications and meet recommended immunization guidelines. Clinical documentation is a yearly requirement for all clinical placement courses in the nursing program.
Synergy Gateway
Lakehead University has partnered with Synergy Gateway Inc. to provide support for required clinical placement documents. To have your documents validated you will be required to book an Electronic Requirements Verification (ERV) review through Verified, a proprietary platform that is used by students across Ontario for the purpose of digitally collecting placement requirements and documentation for verification. For help navigating the Synergy platform go to www.synergyhelps.com.
