The Department of Physical Therapy relies heavily on physical therapists across the province to provide clinical education to Master of Physical Therapy (MPT) students. Taking on a student requires preparation, supervision, evaluation, motivation, patience and enthusiasm. This dedication to, and interest in, MPT students is greatly appreciated. We are honoured to have so many Physical Therapists supporting students through their placements and other educational opportunities.\
Nomination-dependent awards will have a February submission deadline each year (posted on this page in advance), and will be decided by the end of March 2024. For the non-nomination based draws, eligible draw nominees no longer need to apply – the department will use our records to automatically enter you into the appropriate draw level(s).
