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.\
2024 UPDATE: All awards will have a February 15th 2024 submission deadline, and will be decided by the end of March 2024. Both draws (previously spring and fall) will shift to run simultaneously in March. Eligible draw nominees no longer need to apply – the department will use our records to automatically enter you into the appropriate draw level(s).
