ASSOCIATE DEAN’S SUMMARY

1

The School of Rehabilitation Science The School of Rehabilitation Science began at McMaster University in 1989. Our goal is to provide excellent, self-directed, problem-based educational programs for students in both occupational therapy and physiotherapy. Faculty, staff and students contribute to the advancement of rehabilitation science and health care through excellence in collaborative research and service initiatives.

The School of Rehabilitation Science is located in the Institute of Applied Health Sciences on the central campus of McMaster University. The Institute building is shared with Mohawk College and houses the classroom and practical teaching space used by our three educational programs – Master in Occupational Therapy, Master in Physiotherapy, and Master and PhD program in Rehabilitation Science. The Institute also houses faculty and administrative office space, and space for research activity. Faculty &Staff In 2007, the School of Rehabilitation Science included 32 university-based faculty members supported through university-based education funding or research funds. The School has 46 staff, providing administrative, educational, admissions and research support to the School and faculty members. The School includes over 200 clinical faculty and professional associate faculty members who provide clinical placements, tutoring, and teaching sessions. McMaster University and our education and research programs benefit significantly from this effective university-community partnership. Education The School of Rehabilitation Science has three educational programs, all at the graduate level. Our two professional programs are Master’s programs in occupational therapy and physiotherapy. A portion of the academic and clinical components of these professional programs are carried out in Thunder Bay through our Northern Studies Stream. Our third educational program is the graduate program in Rehabilitation Science. Within this program, we have a Master’s degree with a thesis or online course-based option and a PhD program. McMaster’s problem-based learning approach infused our educational programs and enables our graduates to excel in their chosen careers. Student evaluations of our educational programs consistently rate courses and faculty very highly. We currently have over 340 students enrolled in our Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Science programs.

Message from Assistant Dean (Occupational Therapy)

The past year has been busy and exciting for all the occupational therapy faculty. We always strive for excellence in our curriculum, and I believe that we achieved this in 2007. After reviewing and revising the first year of our curriculum in 2006, we focused on the second year of our program in the past year. Faculty in Terms 4, 5 and 6 worked collaboratively to make changes in response to student and faculty feedback. I want to thank all faculty for the tremendous work that has gone into our curriculum review and update in the past two years. Evidence to date indicates that our efforts are paying off. We also continue our efforts to map our curriculum to our profession’s

competencies in the Occupational Therapy Profile from CAOT. I am learning that curriculum mapping is a very time-intensive and complex process, and we are taking the time to ensure that we do it well. Input from students and faculty have helped to develop a document that will be useful to all of us for many years. Perhaps the most significant change in the past year is related to clinical education, which is also called professional practice or fieldwork. In 2007 the province of Ontario announced funding to support clinical education activities for rehabilitation science programs. We have spent many hours in meetings with the physiotherapy program to decide how best to use this funding to ensure that we maintain quality clinical education for our students. We also want to support the excellent work of our preceptors, and to continue to develop role emerging placements. Occupational therapy faculty are also involved in many “behind-the-scenes” activities. For example, we are starting up a new learning management system for students and we are participating actively in the implementation of mandatory Interprofessional Education (IPE) as part of the Faculty of Health Sciences. These activities may not be as noticeable to students but they do contribute to ensuring ongoing excellence in our curriculum.

Message from Graduate Coordinator Rehabilitation Science (RS) Program

The Rehabilitation Science (RS) Graduate Program includes the PhD program and the MSc program with two options: a thesis option which began in September 2000 and a part-time online course-based option which was added September 2004. The PhD program began in September of 2006. In 2007 we admitted our first students to our full time one year course based program with a focus on total joint arthroplasty. This option includes both on campus and online courses. We also opened three of our online course based courses to the Primary Health Care Nurses Practitioner Program, McMaster Graduate Nursing Program.

We admitted 25 students across the PhD program (8) and MSc programs (2 thesis option, 15 course based option) bringing our total enrolment to 70 students. Included in the 8 PhD students are 3 students who transferred from the MSc to the PhD program. At the

spring convocation, the first graduate of our part time course based master’s program received her diploma - this was an exciting occasion for her and for our program. We continued to add to our course offerings with the Knowledge Exchange and Translation course. This is a required course for our PhD students. Evidence-based rehabilitation and knowledge transfer is one of our research fields in RS. Our research focuses on development and validation of outcome measures; systematic reviews of rehabilitation evidence; and utilization of research knowledge by clients, families, rehabilitation practitioners, students and policymakers. I wish to thank the RS graduate faculty for their contribution and commitment to the ongoing excellence of the Program and in particular to acknowledge Joyce Tryssenaar for her ongoing enthusiasm for the cour Respectfully submitted

THE QUALITY OF LIFE PROGRAM

33

Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) Training Program in Rehabilitation Research - Developing and Using Rehabilitation Research Evidence to Enhance Quality of Life In July 2004, Mary Law and Joy MacDermid, along with Janice Eng from UBC, received a training grant from the CIHR Institute of Musculoskeletal Health and Arthritis. The grant is worth $1,863,000, and is in effect until June 2010. The funding is to go towards the training of MSc and PhD students to “develop and use rehabilitation research evidence to enhance quality of life”. The aim is to prepare rehabilitation trainees for independent research careers and provide specific training through online problem-based learning courses, a research practicum, a personal training plan and a summer publication and grant writing workshop. Applicants for this program must already be enrolled or accepted into a PhD program at McMaster or UBC. CIHR stipends are available to students who qualify. In 2007, nine training stipends were awarded to 8 Rehabilitation Science PhD students and one MSc students at McMaster. As of December 2007, QLP has funded 27 students (UBC and McMaster) since the program started in January 2005.
