The purpose of the Masters Thesis program in Rehabilitation Science offered at McMaster University is to assist rehabilitation scientists to gain knowledge and evaluation skills to contribute to the development of rehabilitation science (particularly in the areas of occupational therapy and physiotherapy).

Students will study theory, research design, measurement models, critical appraisal of the evidence to support current practice, and examination of systems which will prepare graduates of the program to assume leadership positions in the rehabilitation community and towards the contribution to rehabilation science research.
