Program details

Overview

Advanced Health Care Practice (MClSc) is a one-year, three-term, course-based master's program at Western University, described as the first program of its kind in Canada. It offers experienced health-care professionals advanced training in a clinical specialty through one of six fields: Clinical Epidemiology and Research Management, Comprehensive Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy, Interdisciplinary Pain Management, Sport and Exercise Medicine, Upper Extremity Rehabilitation, and Wound Healing. Interdisciplinary Pain Management and Upper Extremity Rehabilitation are delivered fully online, while the remaining fields combine online coursework with two to three on-site residency periods of one to three weeks each. The program is intended for practising clinicians rather than new graduates, and several fields require a current license to practise in Canada. As a course-based degree, it does not include a thesis component, and field-specific requirements vary considerably across the six specializations offered.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Applicants require a minimum baccalaureate degree from a recognized university with at least B standing (or equivalent grade point average) over the final two years, comfort using computers, and, for select fields, Canadian citizenship or permanent residency and a current license to practise in Canada. Requirements vary by specialization field; for example, the Sport and Exercise Medicine field requires 50 or more hours of sport event coverage experience. Applicants whose first language is not English must demonstrate proficiency through an accepted English test.
