The program emphasizes the application of theory and research evidence to clinical practice through rigorous studies in occupational therapy and research production and utilization. Graduates are eligible to write the certification examination of the Canadian Association of Occupational Therapists, a requirement for registration with the College of Occupational Therapists of Ontario and most other professional regulatory colleges in Canada. Practice in another country generally requires the graduate to pass the licensing requirement specific to that country.
