Requirements

Admission Requirements: Post-graduate entry: this program builds on a completed health credential rather than secondary school. Academic, one of two routes. Route one - an advanced diploma, diploma or equivalent from a registered health profession program; Humber names diagnostic medical sonography, medical radiation technology, respiratory therapy, registered practical nursing, cardiovascular technology, registered massage therapy and occupational therapy assistant / physiotherapy assistant as examples, and the list is not exhaustive. Route two - a bachelor's degree or equivalent in a medical or health-related discipline carrying at least two courses in human or gross anatomy and physiology, one in human pathology, and three further human health courses such as patient care, medical research or medical ethics; examples include BSc or BA Kinesiology, BSc Nursing, Bachelor of Medical Radiation Technology and Bachelor of Applied Health Sciences. A Canadian citizen or permanent resident schooled abroad needs a credential assessment first - ICAS course-by-course for a secondary transcript, WES for post-secondary study. English, where English is not your first language or your previous education was in another language: Humber's graduate certificate and master's band - IELTS Academic 6.5 with no band under 6.0, TOEFL iBT 88 with 22 per skill, PTE Academic 61-64, Duolingo 125, CAEL 70. Once you accept a seat, placement clearances may be required: immunisations and laboratory testing, TB screening, a police record check, and current First Aid and CPR certification.
