N95 Mask Fit Testing
Disposable N95 masks are used by health practitioners to ensure no bacteria or infections are passed between you and your patients. The appropriate fit size and type are essential, so you must be fit tested. The Clinical Placement Risk Management team organizes fit-test clinics during the academic year. Each clinic is reserved for specific groups of student. Students in Pembroke are fit tested through their Health Services department.
- The Deadlines for each program are provided. Details for your program of study will be sent to you prior to the clinic.
- Masks are included in the ajustment fee, therefore, you do not have to buy a mask in advance.
- Fit testing has to be conducted every two years.
- Any significant facial changes (size, shape, etc.) require re-testing for your mask.
- Any facial hair should be removed as it affects the accuracy of the fit test.
