Commuting

Learners who do not choose to live in temporary housing in the community, may qualify for travel reimbursement.

Expandable List

You are strongly encouraged to live and learn in the community to optimize your experience, however, there may be situations when commuting is the necessary choice. When making this decision, please consider call schedules, weather and travel time.

Learners who do not choose to live in temporary housing in the community, may qualify for travel reimbursement to support daily commute up to a maximum of $450 per 4 weeks/month/block.

Travel costs will only be reimbursed if the clinical rotation site:

    • is in an Ministry of Health (MOH) Approved Mac-CARE Community

and

  • is 35 kilometres or further (one way) from the learner’s Academic Home Base or Clinical Home Base
