دانشگاه School of Rehabilitation Science, University of Saskatchewan کانادا

The School of Rehabilitation Science at the University of Saskatchewan is an academic unit within the College of Medicine that advances leading-edge, clinically relevant research across the lifespan and clinical specialties. Established in 1965, the school has evolved from a 2.5-year diploma program in physical therapy with 20 students to a comprehensive institution offering Master of Physical Therapy programs admitting up to 55 students per year. As of fall 2026, the school is expanding to include Saskatchewan's first occupational therapy and speech-language pathology programs, making the University of Saskatchewan one of only a few Canadian universities to house almost all health sciences within a single institution. The school is known for training high-quality collaborative rehabilitation clinicians and researchers focused on improving function, mobility, activity, and participation. Over 85% of physical therapists currently practicing in Saskatchewan are alumni of the school. Faculty members conduct innovative research funded by agencies such as the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), Saskatchewan Health Research Foundation (SHRF), and the Physiotherapy Foundation of Canada, with research areas including clinical test development, physical therapy effectiveness, group exercise programs, fall prevention, and knowledge translation.
