Infectious Disease Notice

Students in any of the Allied Health programs, including Dental Hygiene, perform their clinical work on real people. The patient populations with whom we work come from all walks of life, and the students may therefore be exposed to many types of communicable diseases. As a student enrolled in this academic program, you may be required to participate in activities that may present a risk to your health. These risks include but are not limited to needle stick injuries, exposure to communicable diseases, infections, or exposure to blood and/or bodily fluids. Students are solely responsible for the cost of medical treatment of an illness or injury.

This risk and financial responsibility of illness includes COVID-19 and variants.

Slide11

Health Risks, Infectious Disease Notification and Working Conditions As a student enrolled in this academic program, you may be required to participate in activities that may present a risk to your health and you may be working with other students and patients in various states of health/illness. Students may be exposed to significant risks including but not limited to various diseases, micro-organisms, pathogens, needle stick injuries, exposure to communicable diseases, infections, or exposure to blood and/or bodily fluids. It is important to understand that there is always a risk. More examples of potential risks to students in clinical/laboratory placements include but are not limited to:

•Ionizing radiation •Students may be exposed to communicable diseases and infectious diseases, including COVID-19Students are required to have immunizations and health exams prior to beginning program (laboratory and all clinical courses).

•Risk of injuries related to lifting heavy objects or moving patients.

•Physical injury can result also from exposure and use of laboratory and clinical equipment such as the high and slow speed handpiece (dental drill/polisher). Also other laboratory equipment such as the cast grinder or Vacu-form machines.

•Risk of repetitive motion syndrome and injury.

Students are solely responsible for the cost of medical treatment due to exposure to the risks, illness, or injury.

Own health insurance highly recommended.

Slide30

Common Question!Can I take other courses while waiting to be accepted in the Dental Hygiene Program?

Yes. You may take any courses on the Dental Hygiene plan of study except

the Dental Hygiene Technical courses. In fact, we highly recommend that students try to complete as many of the general education and basic-related courses that they can. Although this is not a requirement, it makes the course load easier for the working student. The Dental Hygiene Program is time intensive and an extremely demanding program academically. Students have reported that it is easier to manage when their other courses (non-technical) are out of the way.

Slide31

PLAN OF STUDY

All Basic-related (B) and General Education (G) courses count toward selection / admission points regardless of the grade

If accepted, try to complete difficult courses before beginning the program Autumn semester (Highly recommended but not required)
