Description:

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.

Completion of a four-year baccalaureate degree or its academic equivalent in any field of study from an accredited post-secondary institution is required. A minimum GPA of 3.0 on the University of Alberta 4-point grading system or an equivalent standing from another recognized institution is required. However, a GPA of >3.6 for Alberta applicants and >3.8 for out of province applicants on the most recent sixty credits of study is recommended for a competitive application.

The MMI is a series of short, multi-station interviews based on predefined scenarios designed to evaluate the interviewee's critical thinking ability, ethical decision making ability, communication skills and the non-cognitive/humanistic skills required for success in a clinical environment. The interview evaluation constitutes a significant component of the overall admissions assessment.
