SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS MANDATORY REQUIREMENT FOR S400 PRE-PLACEMENT HEALTH FORM Upon confirmation of acceptance into this program, students must meet all the mandatory pre-placement health requirements for the program. It may take up to four months to complete all the requirements. All costs, service fees and fines associated with the overall health requirements are the responsibility of the student. For further details and to download the mandatory preplacement health form, go to the Pre-placement website at www.georgebrown.ca/preplacement MANDATORY REQUIREMENT FOR S400 POLICE VULNERABLE SECTOR CHECK (MUST BE VALID ANNUALLY) In compliance with the requirements of our placement partners, all students in this program are required to have a police vulnerable sector check completed, and this check must be renewed annually before entering into field or clinical placement. The police vulnerable sector check process typically takes two to three months, but under some circumstances can take four to eight months. This is required to protect the clientele of our placement partner agencies, who are considered "vulnerable persons" under the law. Students are responsible for ensuring that the police vulnerable sector check covers appropriateness for "individuals being employed and/or volunteering who will be working with vulnerable person(s)". Students are required to keep the original copy of their police vulnerable sector check. Students who are unable to provide a "clear" police vulnerable sector check may not be able to start their field or clinical placement and therefore may be unable to complete the program. Students who are not eligible to attend their practice placement due to a "not clear" status will jeopardize their progress in the program. Failure to meet the requirements for field placement will prevent students from completing the program and/or securing employment. The fees for the police record check vary and must be paid by the student.

The clinical instructors and dentists are extremely knowledgeable and are always there to teach with great pleasure. I am especially thankful to have had such amazing instructors in all aspects of the program. The program co-ordinator did such a great job in putting together quite a complex course, and made it simple and enjoyable for us. In completing the course, I feel comfortable with the knowledge that I now have to go out there in the real world and put my skills to work."
