Motor and Sensory Rehabilitation Certificate

This 30-credit undergraduate certificate at UQAT builds knowledge and intervention skills in motor and sensory rehabilitation. Admission is open to holders of a Quebec college diploma (DEC) in fields such as orthotics-prosthetics, audioprosthetics, special education, respiratory therapy, nursing, physical rehabilitation, physiotherapy or social work, with some DEC holders granted 6 optional credits by prior-learning recognition; mature students (21+) with relevant university coursework or work experience may also apply. The curriculum covers anatomy and physiology of movement, ergonomics, professional health communication, the phenomenon of pain, neurophysiology and neuropsychology in rehabilitation, and functional capacities in physical disability, plus 12 credits of electives drawn from organizational behaviour, human-resources and occupational health and safety management, pathophysiology, pharmacotherapy, and toxicology. All courses are delivered through UQAT's online learning environment, with some also scheduled in-class depending on campus. Credits count toward a bachelor's degree through the cumulative-certificate route in the Sciences sector.
