Training requests for Primary Access Regional Information System (PARIS) and the Electronic Medical Record (EMR) are sent by the Student Practice Education Department.

If you have any queries, please e-mail placements@vch.ca. Legal names of students including school emails addresses need to be entered into the confirmed HSPnet placement one month prior to placement start date. For information on dates please go to: Community Systems Student Training Toolkit.
The registration confirmation email from PARIS/EMR will be sent to the student's school e-mail by the PARIS/EMR team. If you need to change the training date, please email paris.support@vch.ca

Students in a preceptorship are trained by their preceptor/supervisor.
For group placements it is the responsibility of the on-site faculty to train the students in their group. We ask on-site faculty to arrange for Omnicell training prior to the clinical placement using a school instructor to school instructor approach.
Nursing students on a practicum placement within Vancouver Coastal Health use a generic student ID for the Accu-chek Inform II glucometer. Please check with your school for the current ID to use. Training will be given by your preceptor or on-site group instructor.
