Welcome to the McMaster University School of Rehabilitation Science.

The School of Rehabilitation Science has been offering innovative problem-based programs in Occupational Therapy and Physiotherapy for over 20 years. A key strength of the programs is our partnership with the clinical community to ensure that the programs are at the leading edge of clinical practice.

Building on our reputation in innovative education and research, the School of Rehabilitation Science also offers thesis and course based Master degrees and a PhD in Rehabilitation Science. New in 2010, in collaboration with the DeGroote School of Business, is the Masters of Health Management offered primarily through on-line delivery.

Our programs have an international reputation for preparing leaders who promote excellence in evidence based practice and health care. The small group interactive nature of our educational programs allows graduates to gain skills in collaboration and communication that are foundational to successful careers and promote open student/faculty relationships.

I encourage you to explore our website to learn more about our innovative programs, accomplished faculty and ground breaking research. If you require additional information feel free to contact us.
