Welcome to the University of Toronto's Health Sciences COVID Curriculum.

In preparation for return to the clinical environment, please review the content found in each of the modules below.  These learning modules contain general information aimed at preparing you to return safely to the clinical environment, which may look and feel quite different than before the COVID-19 pandemic.

We recognize that each of you will be working in different roles and capacities, so this curriculum is meant to provide you with baseline information. Please note that in addition to this training, you will also receive site-specific education to further enhance your knowledge.

You must review the modules and complete the form found at the end of the course as proof of completion. The training and completion of the form must be completed before you will be permitted to return to clinical practice.

We recognize that you have been out of the clinical environment for the last several months. We want to acknowledge that not everyone is in the same place, so please don’t hesitate to reach out to your course instructor, supervisor, preceptor or clinical instructor for additional support if required.

The COVID Curriculum contains a mix of videos, eLearning modules, fact sheets and other written information. You may already be familiar with some of this content, this is meant to be a refresher to ensure that you are well prepared and can practice safely.

It will take approximately 3 hours to complete all of the required learning.
