Medical Response Plans (MRP) exist to ensure faculty receive the information they need in the event that a learner experiences a medical incident during class such as a seizure or a life-threatening allergic reaction. MRPs are developed by Accessibility Consultants in Accessible Learning Services (ALS) if a learner discloses medical information that necessitates a plan. 

• A MRP is developed and will outline steps to be taken by faculty and Public Safety when appropriate if a medical incident occurs.   

• Faculty are not required to perform any medical intervention. There is an expectation that they will alert the proper resources (e.g., emergency services, Humber Public Safety) to attend to the learner as appropriate. 

• MRPs are sent directly to faculty, Public Safety and the appropriate Associate Dean via email by ALS staff. In most cases, the MRP will be issued at the start of the semester but depending on when a learner connects with ALS, it may be issued during the semester.  

• Should you receive an MRP, be sure to review it carefully and note the contact information for Public Safety.
