French Requirements for Healthcare Professionals (Professional Programs)
Undergraduate Programs and Inter-Faculty Transfer Students听
The language of instruction at 不良研究所 is English. However, certain 不良研究所 programs include a mandatory internship, or 鈥榮tage鈥�, which will be completed in a hospital, clinic, or school setting or social service centre where the ability to communicate proficiently in French is essential.
French is the official language in Qu茅bec and thus health and social services administered by the Ministry of Health are bound by the Charter of the French Language. In order to provide essential and safe care to all patients within a Qu茅bec-based healthcare setting, students must achieve an appropriate level of French before entering their respective health program鈥檚 clinical affiliations where they integrate their knowledge, skills and attitudes. This will ensure all students have every opportunity to maximize their learning with all patients, families, and fellow health care workers they meet during their studies at 不良研究所.
