  • The opportunity to learn practical skills in both clinical and research environments, locally, across Canada and internationally.
Evidence-Based Practice
 
The MSc (OT) utilizes a problem-based (PBL), self-directed learning philosophy.

Students will complete course work, fieldwork placement and an independent research project exploring the complexities and richness of evidence-based practice

These evidence-based practice projects will be evaluated through faculty assessment and presentation at a symposium, attended broadly by the clinical communities. All courses will be specific to this curriculum.
