At the Faculty of Rehabilitation Medicine, we are reimagining what it means to live and move well through rehabilitation education, research and care.

Rehabilitation touches every dimension of how people live — how they move, communicate, connect, and participate in the world. Across the faculty’s campuses, clinics, and communities, we are expanding access to that care while preparing the next generation of leaders in the field.

Programs

Physical Therapy

Help people restore movement, reduce pain, and improve quality of life through evidence-based rehabilitation and hands-on clinical care. Our graduate-level Physical Therapy programs prepare future clinicians and leaders to support health and mobility across the lifespan.

Occupational Therapy

Enable people to participate fully in the activities that matter most. Occupational Therapy graduate students learn to support health, independence, and wellbeing across home, work, school, and community settings through client-centred and collaborative care.

Speech-Language Pathology

Support communication, connection, and quality of life through assessment, treatment, and advocacy. Our Speech-Language Pathology graduate-level programs prepare students to work with individuals experiencing speech, language, voice, fluency, cognitive, and swallowing disorders.

Rehabilitation Science

Advance the future of rehabilitation through interdisciplinary research, innovation, and discovery. Rehabilitation Science students explore complex health challenges and develop evidence that improves care, accessibility, participation, and outcomes for individuals and communities.
