Baccalaureate of Science in Physiotherapy | 145 |

Program description
The physiotherapy program includes 145 credits, of which 136 are required and 9 are optional. The clinical placements are integrated into the academic program.
Students in the physiotherapy program begin with the study of biological, social and applied sciences, knowledge of health and health systems, professional practice and basic physiotherapy skills. The next phase of study centres on the prevention, assessment and treatment of mobility problems and pain throughout the lifespan. Dysfunction of the musculo-skeletal, respiratory, nervous, and cardiovascular systems is examined and students learn appropriate physiotherapy interventions. Also studied are research, evidence-based practice, education, community work, the helping relationship and the management of physiotherapy services. The clinical placements are an integral part of the program of study and allow the student to apply the knowledge learned from the academic courses in a variety of clinical settings in either the public or private sector.
Courses identified by the PHT course code are exclusively reserved to students in physiotherapy. Clinical fieldwork courses are limited to students who have passed all prerequisites. Because of their dynamic nature and, therefore, their need for revision and change, each program reserves the right to change, cancel or suspend the courses in this calendar.
