When you complete the Self-Assessment tool you will likely be advised to not to attend in-person sessions (such as ACB lab, Clinical Skills, DSPE, Shadowing, Community Experience, PREP).  Even though you may be partially or completely vaccinated for COVID-19, please adhere to this regulation and stay home and self-isolate. If you are already at a learning session and start to feel ill,  immediately advise your preceptor, leave the session and go directly home and self-isolate.  Please contact the appropriate UGME administrative staff to inform them of the situation and contact the 811 Healthline for more specific guidance about next steps.

If you were in close proximity to the individual, it would be better to exercise caution and engage in self-monitoring for symptoms and your return to activities would depend on the risk level of proximity and mitigating factors (PPE, vaccination, etc.). Refer to the Contacts Definitions (Table 5, page 21) and the Public Health Management of Contacts Based on Risk table (Table 6, page 26) and follow recommendations there. If you are unsure, please consult your Year Chair and appropriate UGME Admin Staff or call 811.

If you are self-monitoring and you develop viral-like symptoms (as above), then you should stay home, self-isolate, notify the appropriate UGME admin, and contact the 811 HealthLine. During this time if you are feeling well enough, you will be able to participate in all virtual learning that does not have in-person interactions.

Please refer to the Medical Student Exposure to Infectious and Environmental Hazard Policy and follow the COVID-19 Procedure.

A. If you have any symptoms of COVID-19, follow steps in Section 1.

B. If you do not have any symptoms of COVID-19, determine risk level of exposure:  

      Whether or not you need to self-isolate will depend on the risk of the contact based on your                  vaccination status, proximity to the individual and mitigating factors. Refer to the Risk                          Classification for Asymptomatic HCWs with Potential Exposure and follow recommendations there.          If you are unsure of your risk, please consult your Year Chair and appropriate UGME Admin Staff or        call 811.

• If you are fully vaccinated (you have had 2 COVID-19 vaccinations with the most recent at least 14 days prior) you will be considered to have a low-risk exposure/non-close contact. Self-monitor for 14 days following your last exposure to the case. Avoid close contact with individuals at high risk for illness during the self-monitoring period. If you develop COVID-19 symptom, self-isolate immediately and call 811.
• If you are not fully vaccinated, whether you are required to self-isolate will depend on whether the contact is considered high risk/close contact.
• Any advice from Public Health/OH&S contact tracers should be followed and supersedes this guidance.

 

The following steps apply if determined that the risk level is high:

C. Immediately leave clinical setting and call 811 Healthline and indicate you are a healthcare worker        and have been in close contact with a person with COVID-19, and self isolate unless advised                  otherwise by Public Health or OH&S. Follow advice for self-isolation and timeline for possible return        to clinical duties. Notify the relevant individuals in the Notification of exposure list (include all                below). You may notify UGME Administrator via the application for absence. Please advise if UGME         office many notify Office of Student Affairs so they can reach out to you for support.

If you develop COVID-19 symptom, self-isolate immediately and call 811.
• If you are not fully vaccinated, whether you are required to self-isolate will depend on whether the contact is considered high risk/close contact. If a close contact/high risk, self-isolate at home for 14 days from last exposure > call 811 to arrange testing (identify yourself as a contact of a case) > continue to self-isolate for the full 14 days even if your test is negative> if you develop any symptoms call 811.
• Any advice from Public Health should be followed and supersedes this guidance.

The following steps apply if determined that the risk level is high:

c. Notify the UGME program of your need to be absent to self-isolate and that you are seeking testing (see Notification of Exposure below). Please advise if UGME office many notify Office of Student Affairs so they can reach out to you for support.

d. Once you have test results, notify the UGME program (see Notification of Test Results, below) and advise your administrator of the recommendations from public health on return to learning activities. Work with administrator and year chair to schedule missed learning opportunities, following the Pre-Clerkship Attendance and Absence Policy.

Home rapid antigen testing (such as the SHA Test to Protect program) is designed for screening for COVID-19 in asymptomatic people.

Antigen testing has high specificity (if you have a positive screening test you likely have COVID) but it does not have a high sensitivity (a negative test does not exclude you having COVID) so it cannot be used as a test if you have symptoms. If you have symptoms that might be COVID-19, follow steps in Section 1.

If you OR anyone in your household has a positive home rapid antigen test, you must do the following:

a.      Stay home and self-isolate, despite being partially or completely vaccinated for COVID-19.

b.      Call 811 to arrange for a PCR test (diagnostic test) for COVID-19. When you call, advise that you are a health care worker and have a positive antigen test (or family member has a positive antigen test).

c.      Contact the appropriate UGME administrative staff (see Notification of + home antigen test) to inform them of the situation and your need to self-isolate. Please advise if UGME office many notify Office of Student Affairs so they can reach out to you for support.

d.      Continue to self-isolate until you receive your COVID-19 PCR test result.

e.      Once you have PCR test results, notify the UGME program (see Notification of Test Results below) and advise your administrator of the recommendations from public health on return to learning activities. Work with administrator and year chair to schedule missed learning opportunities, following the Pre-Clerkship Attendance and Absence Policy.

f.       Student will be contacted by UGME to provide support and follow up. OSA may also provide support and follow-up.

g.      Associate Dean, UGME is informed to ensure ongoing review of exposure incidents.

Notification of + home antigen test:

• the UGME office administrator at your site.

Contingency plan for missed learning if self-isolation is required:

• If learning cannot take place virtually – apply sick time from the Pre-Clerkship Attendance and  Absence Policy.

• If learning can be participated in virtually – student may not require rescheduling, depending on whether objectives of the learning experience can be met and whether the learning experience can be replicated or not.

All plans will be developed with the student by the UGME administrative staff in consultation with Year Chair and relevant Course/Module Director.

Some pre-clerkship learning (e.g., DSPEs in Clinical Skills courses) may occur in SHA facilities. The SHA outbreak management guidelines can be found here; section 4.8 is relevant to College of Medicine learners. The SHA outlines that once a unit is declared to have an outbreak that all learners will be re­assigned within facilities to reduce the number of individuals on an outbreak unit at any given time. These students will not be permitted to continue their learning experience in the outbreak unit/department and are to contact their College of Medicine pre-clerkship administrator and site/year chair immediately, if learning on a unit when an outbreak is declared. If the learner is scheduled to begin on a COVID-19 outbreak unit, the pre-clerkship team will work expediently to reschedule or find alternate methods of providing the learning session.

The SHA will contact the managers of the UGME, Saskatoon and Regina with updates of SHA Outbreaks. The manager will then reach out to the appropriate pre-clerkship administrator and year site/chair to notify the affected learners and facilitate the appropriate changes for the learner. The pre-clerkship team will work with the affected student, module/course director, departmental clerical support and identified preceptor(s) for notification and schedule adjustments. If rescheduling is not feasible, the pre-clerkship team will work with the relevant faculty and staff for a reasonable solution of how to achieve learning objectives.
