I thought you also got paid at UBC during clinicals? 

I didn’t know that. It could be possible.

I prefer BCIT because you get to graduate with two specialization courses, and preceptorship is paid and it is closer to drive too.

Is the preceptorship paid via a bursary?

Hi all! Filling out and had a few questions, wondering if anyone can help out?

1. The program requires "Two years of full-time education in English in an English speaking country". When filling out the application form, would the following information be appropriate to provide to indicate how I meet this requirement?

"I attended x Secondary school for 5 years, achieving 94% in English 12. I completed my BSc Biology at x school in 5.5 years. Both schools are in Canada and instruction was in English."

2. I was unable to upload my Mandatory Applicant Questionnaire because it is over the 2 MB limit.  I am wondering if in this case it might be appropriate to print and scan a copy of the filled-in form with my typed answers, to ensure it meets the file size requirements. Did anyone else do this?

Many thanks!

Yes its paid through a bursary they used to pay you in the preceptorship but they don't anymore I think since curriculum change

If you feel comfortable sharing, what are you two applying with grades/ health care experience wise? What have you worked in health care as?

Also what time do applications open?? Never saw it on the BCIT website so I assumed it was 12am but it still has not opened.

My overall GPA is around 3. I did good in pre-reqs (one B and rest As) but my first year of school was messed up. I am applying with 5 years of pharmacy assistant experience.

I found information about this... Normally you could get ESN hours/pay which has more hours I think per term than BCIT. BCIT only has 475 hours compared to the rumored 600-700 hours ESN.

I wonder if this means that students can't do the ESN at the same time or instead. Hmm.

Can you also ask how many questions are on the non-cognitive quiz and the time limit?
