No, you don't need first aid or CPR before you start... there's opportunities throughout your first couple of years to take it. Although if you can take it, I'd recommend that you do, it might be nicer to take it during your summer than spending a weekend later during class time.

 

As for O-week... I'm pretty sure it starts on the 29th (at least that's when we're told to be back).

Hi there, CPR is mandatory for students to complete prior to beginning clerkship. The UofA pays for and registers all third year medical students in a course in the transition between second and third year of med school. Towards the end of fourth year, students are then registered in an ATLS course as well. :)
