This program leads to a Master in Rehabilitation Practices (M. Réad.), a 45-credit professional degree delivered part-time entirely online through the Longueuil campus, typically completed over three to four and a half years, with admission in the fall term. It is a professional rather than a research-oriented master's, built around 36 mandatory credits covering contemporary rehabilitation approaches, critical reading of scientific literature, interprofessional collaboration, program evaluation, ethics, and a 9-credit synthesis essay grounded in the student's own practice context, plus 9 option credits chosen from assessment tools and specialization courses on topics such as pain, aging, community rehabilitation, or mental health. It targets working rehabilitation professionals and managers — including occupational therapists, physiotherapists, social workers, nurses, and psychologists — aiming to develop advanced, evidence-informed rehabilitation competencies for interprofessional practice, program evaluation, and complex clinical problem-solving, delivered on weekends both online and in the field. Admissions to the program are currently suspended.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admissions to this program are currently suspended. Under the standard entry conditions, applicants must hold a bachelor's degree or equivalent diploma in a health-sciences field (occupational therapy, medicine, speech-language pathology, physiotherapy, nursing, etc.) or another discipline related to rehabilitation (physical education, psychology, social work, etc.), or demonstrate equivalent studies and experience as judged by the admissions committee. Candidates must also meet one of three conditions: at least one year of full-time equivalent work experience in the rehabilitation field, sufficient rehabilitation experience through practicum or volunteering, or beginning the program while concurrently working in the field, with the latter two categories limited in number. Graduates of the second-cycle microprogram in pain assessment and management may receive 5 credits of recognition, those from the advanced pain management microprogram may receive 12 credits, and those from the specialized graduate diploma in gerontology may receive 24 credits provided they maintained a 3.3 cumulative average and have a year of relevant work experience. All admitted candidates need a strong command of French and a good enough command of English to consult scientific and professional publications available only in English. Required documents are a current curriculum vitae and a one-to-two-page letter of motivation; no letter of recommendation is required.
