Canada has one of the most advanced professional organizational structures for rehabilitation practice in the world. The educational programs within the School of Rehabilitation Therapy at Queen's University reflect this structure through our variety of degree offerings.
Occupational therapy is a dynamic, growing, and internationally-recognized health profession that for close to a century has been helping to improve the lives and daily experience of children, adults, and communities by focusing on what is fundamental to us all - the daily occupations that give life meaning.
Our missions is to educate and train scholars to conduct research in rehabilitation sciences and translate knowledge through mentorship and collaboration.
The Programs in Aging and Health prepare graduates who can use theory, apply evidence and generate knowledge to address the needs and aspirations of older adults within their contexts and communities to support health aging.
