| The DSc (RHL) is a 36 month executive-style degree program that equips currently practicing rehabilitation and health professionals with the knowledge and skills they need to confidently pursue career opportunities that require advanced competencies in leadership, program development, applied research and evaluation, advocacy, change management, and knowledge translation.
The program format and curriculum design are firmly rooted in the belief that collaboration, creativity, and the discovery of new knowledge can inspire changes that benefit people affected by or at risk of disability. The program will be open to any professional with a background in rehabilitation or health sciences whose current work or future career goals focus on advancing programs, services, and systems that will positively influence the everyday lives of people affected by or at risk of disability. The cohort-based program has been designed with the working professional in mind. The intent is to enable students to continue working, if desired. The three-year program will be offered in a blended-learning format that includes short, intensive on-campus components (3-7 days) once or twice per year (depending on year of study), followed by on-line learning.
