If you answered 'yes' to SCUBA, please use the above space to communicate any relevant information (if applicable).
Please list any allergies or dietary restrictions.
Due to the high number of dietary restrictions received from students in recent years, BMSC may request specific dietary restrictions be accompanied by a note from a doctor. An example of an exception: if you eat meat but can not eat pork (e.g. for religious reasons), please mention that here. All dietary restrictions can be changed at a later date.
We are unable to support life-threatening, anaphylactic, airborne allergies.
Pertinent Medical Conditions
Bamfield is remote. It has a clinic with a small medical dispensary, staffed by a nurse. The closest doctor and hospital are in Port Alberni, two hours away by logging road. In the event of an emergency, evacuations by boat/helicopter are possible and dependent on weather. For these reasons, BMSC takes its students’ medical conditions very seriously.
Please share any pertinent, pre-existing medical conditions (or else type 'none' in the required field). This information is treated as confidential and will not be considered during the application process; it will be disclosed to BMSC First Aid officers and instructional staff during your course. The type of information we need includes but is not limited to: Serious allergies, diabetes, epilepsy, mobility issues, hearing impairments, issues with balance, visual impairments, pre-existing injuries, recent surgeries, serious illnesses, and mental health illness.
