medigeek Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 I know queens has always required it and I believe Mac now does but this is only for students. Are residents required to do so for any family medicine residency? Seems to be a slow change among Ontario schools for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellorie Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 Well, depending on what off service rotations you do (emerg etc) the cpso will likely consider you to be performing exposure prone procedures and will require it for licensure in Ontario anyway. So that might be part of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I think that it is a good idea, as FM residents do emergency rotation + obstetrics rotation, you will be performing exposure- prone procedures that put you at higher risks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what you mean by "broad screening" aside from what I mentioned. The CPSO policy is broad screening for any and all residents in specialties that do EPPs, including family medicine, surgery, emergency medicine, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bloh Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 If I recall correctly, there was a bunch of HepC/HIV related questions on my practice license application. I would imagine if you lied there you'd be in deep trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
