Detailed instructions on how to set up your Western Email can be found on the Western ITS website by clicking here.  If you choose not to use your Western email, it is extremely important that you forward it to your preferred email address. Western Human Resources, learners and clinical departments may use your Western email to contact you regarding important information such as payment, learning objectives, etc. This will avoid duplication or loss of items mailed to one account and not the other.

As a Distributed Faculty member, funding may be provided for preceptoring learners within your clinical practice. You may choose to have payments made to yourself as an individual or to your professional corporation. If you do choose to have payments made to yourself, a T4A will be issued yearly through Western Human Resources. Faculty may choose to change their payment options at any time by emailing distributed.education@schulich.uwo.ca. Preceptor payments are completed on a quarterly basis – March 31st, June 30th, September 30th, and December 31st each year. Payments to professional corporations are completed by cheque and a summary statement is attached outlining the amount paid for each learner taught. If payments are made to yourself as an individual, please log into Western's MyHR to have payments made by direct deposit into your personal bank account.

As members of the Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry family, we are pleased to announce that all distributed faculty members can now apply online for their WesternONE card.
