Total Gunner Posted March 26, 2020 Report Share Posted March 26, 2020 Hey guys. Congrats on your acceptances. Anyone know how to get BLS training these days with corona virus shutting everything down? Is this something that can be done online or does it have to be in person? Any recommendations for a cheap source? Broke uni student here. Thank you. Rennieag 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel96b Posted March 26, 2020 Report Share Posted March 26, 2020 It is specified on their website that they don't accept online courses. I signed up for a class in april a few weeks ago, I've already paid and it was like 80$... but I'm pretty sure it will get cancelled due to covid19... But a lot of people are in the same boat. They can't refuse all of us for that reason, it doesn't make any sense. I'll send them an email about that tomorrow and I'll keep you guys updated! EDIT 28/03 : still no answer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know where to find the form we are supposed to sign and fill? Not on minerva for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not on minerva for me. It's nowhere to be found yet, at least from what I know... I suppose they will send it to us be email when the immunization form will also be available. From the website: "the immunization form will be posted here when the 2020 version has been approved by the nurses" https://www.mcgill.ca/medadmissions/newstudents/conditions/immu-blsc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilirose Posted March 31, 2020 Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 Does somebody know if there is more time to do the basic life support? With covid it ssems to be a risk to take such a course... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel96b Posted March 31, 2020 Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 They just answered my email Quote Thank you for your email message. Note that the Admission committee will be convening to determine what the next steps are. Please upload to this checklist a document stating the fact that most classes are cancelled. The deadline remains the same, July 31st. The atmosphere we hope maybe will be changed by then. Stay informed. "A document stating the fact that most classes are cancelled"?? Where the hell am I supposed to find that. Everything is cancelled, I can't believe I have to find a proof of that hahaha, geez. Just turn on the TV.

DrNan Posted April 2, 2020 Report Share Posted April 2, 2020 I don't think theres a form for basic life support training? I got lucky that mine didn't expire so I just uploaded the scanned certificate on minerva...I hope that's the correct way I also think school will be understanding of the fact that many people won't get the opportunity to fulfill this requirement soon due to the circumstances!

Yeah it should be correct with the certificate. I really hope they will be comprehensive... I also heard that CLSCs are cancelling appointments for vaccines... very nice...
