63.2 Programs Offered
Graduate Certificate in Assessing Driving Capabilities
The 15-credit post-graduate certificate program aims to train Occupational Therapists to assess the driving abilities and performance of at-risk populations, re-train drivers, recommend adaptive vehicles and adapt technical aids that will allow physically disabled individuals to return to driving and preserve their independence and quality of life. The program comprises five courses, the first two of which are offered online; the other three are a combination of online and intensive workshops.
Master of Science, Applied (Physical Therapy)
The Professional Master of Science in Physical Therapy is a 58-credit degree program including one thousand hours of fieldwork education over 5 semesters. The educational approach is consistent with adult learning, self-directed learning and reflective clinical practice and inter-professionalism. Strong links between academic and clinical fieldwork education are emphasized. Courses emphasize client-centered and evidence-based practice across the lifespan spanning from prevention of disability to rehabilitation. In addition to fieldwork, the program requirements include courses in advanced clinical practice, research methodology, health management and education and a master's project in one of three streams: research, management/health care delivery or clinical education.
Master of Science, Applied (Occupational Therapy)
The Professional Master of Science in Occupational Therapy is a 58-credit degree program that includes one thousand hours of fieldwork education over 5 semesters. The educational approach is consistent with adult learning and reflective clinical practice. The curriculum uses a case-based, problem-solving, self-directed approach across the lifespan. Strong links between academic and clinical fieldwork education are emphasized throughout the educational process. Course work will focus on client-centered and evidence-based practice, clinical reasoning, ethics and professionalism as essential components for the development of a humanistic, ethical, knowledgeable, competent, critical thinking and problem-solving Occupational Therapist. The master's project is designed to develop research and scholarly skills.
Master of Science in Rehabilitation Science
The full curriculum consists of approximately two years of study for graduates who hold a B.Sc. degree in one of the medical rehabilitation disciplines or a related field. The program consists of required and elective course work, a research proposal and a research thesis.
Master of Science in Rehabilitation Science (Non-Thesis)
The program requires three terms of full-time residence study and can usually be completed within three to four terms. It is designed for graduates who hold a B.Sc. (or equivalent) in Physical or Occupational Therapy or related health professions. Two years of clinical experience is recommended. The program trains health professionals to become consumers of research in order to promote evidence-based practice in rehabilitation science. The curriculum is made up of both required and elective courses and may also include a research project.
Ph.D. in Rehabilitation Science
This program consists of three to four years of study, on average, for graduates with Master's level training in one of the medical rehabilitation disciplines or a related field. The program consists of required and elective course work, a comprehensive written examination, a research proposal, a doctoral thesis and an oral defence.
