The combined MScPT/PhD program brings together two programs to achieve efficiencies that help exceptional students seamlessly complete combined clinical and research studies. Each year, two seats will be held for student admissions into the combined MScPT/PhD program. If fewer than 2 suitable candidates are available, the position may be taken by an MScPT student (enrolled in the first year of their clinical program). The program is expected to take between 5-6 years to complete.
