Graduate Certificate Bridging to Canadian Physical Therapy Practice (Rehabilitation Medicine)

Please note [Mar 9, 2023]: ERRATUM. Suspension messaging has been added to this program. See Amendments to the Calendar  for more information.

NOTE: Effective July 2023, there will be no further admission to the Graduate Certificate Bridging to Canadian Physical Therapy Practice in the Faculty of Rehabilitation Medicine. Students who entered this certificate prior to July 2023 must complete all program requirements by July 2025.

Physical Therapists who have completed their professional entry-level education outside of Canada may find it difficult to transition and integrate into the healthcare workplace in Canada. This certificate offers an opportunity for internationally educated physical therapists to address gaps in academic and clinical knowledge, to update clinical skills and competencies, and to be introduced to the Canadian physical therapy context through clinical mentorship and supervised practice in a clinical placement. Canadian trained physical therapists who have been out of the workforce for an extended period of time may also find the certificate courses to be of benefit as a professional update.
