Master of Science, Applied (M.Sc.A.); Physical Therapy (Non-Thesis) (58 credits)

Offered by: Phys and Occ Therapy     Degree: Master of Sci Appl, Phys Ther

Program Requirements

The Master of Science, Applied, in Physical Therapy is a 58-credit program to be completed in 1.5 graduate years over five semesters, and includes four clinical practica of 1,050 hours in total, leading to professional licensure to practice. The educational approach is consistent with adult learning, self-directed learning, reflective clinical practice, and inter-professionalism. Strong links between academic and clinical fieldwork education are emphasized. Courses emphasize client-centred and evidence-based practice across the lifespan and health care continuum, and include health promotion from prevention of disability to rehabilitation. In addition to fieldwork, the program requirements include courses in advanced clinical practice, research methodology, and educational methodology. The master's project prepares the entry-to-practice physiotherapist to become an autonomous and effective professional through the acquisition of research skills.

Students admitted to the M.Sc.A. who have undergraduate degrees other than the B.Sc.(Rehabilitation Science); Major in Physical Therapy from 平特五不中 will be required to complete a Qualifying year of study, prior to beginning the master's program.
