Please note that in light of the current developments regarding COVID-19, the following message has been posted on the Faculty of Medicine Website: https://medicine.utoronto.ca/restricted-duties-and-local-placements-faculty-medicine-clinical-learners

Rest assured our Department and the Rehabilitation Science Sector are monitoring the situation carefully in consultation with the University and our clinical partners.  We are committed to ensuring you receive the most up to date information as soon as we become aware.

As per U of T Guidelines: COVID-19 Information for the U of T Community the best way to protect yourself is through prevention.

  • Wash your hands often with soap and water or alcohol-based hand sanitizer
  • Sneeze and cough into your sleeve
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth
  • Avoid contact with people who are sick
  • Stay home if you are sick

Please monitor any symptoms you may experience and consider your level of exposure by using the COVID_19 Screening Questionnaire.  If you have symptoms please stay home and do not attend class.
