MA/MS in Occupational Therapy

The Master's in Occupational Therapy (Maitrise en ergotherapie) is a 144-credit, four-year (11-term), full-time professional program at Universite de Sherbrooke's Ecole de readaptation, delivered on the Health Sciences campus in Sherbrooke with fall-term admission. Structured as a combined 1st- and 2nd-cycle program, it leads directly to the Maitre en ergotherapie degree and to eligibility for licensure with the Ordre des ergotherapeutes du Quebec. Built on Quebec and Canadian occupational therapy competency frameworks, the curriculum trains students in the occupational therapy intervention process, including establishing therapeutic relationships, conducting functional assessments, and planning and delivering client-centred interventions, alongside professional responsibilities such as communication, practice management, collaboration with partners, and contributing to the advancement of occupational therapy knowledge. Clinical placements are integral to the program, and students must meet immunization requirements against certain infectious diseases to be eligible for them. Graduates are prepared to support participation in meaningful daily occupations for people of all ages across health, community and organizational settings.
