School of Rehabilitation SciencePROVIDING EXEMPLARY EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS AND RESEARCH EXCELLENCE

Excellence in education and researchWITHIN OUR EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS WE CONTINUE TO INTRODUCE INNOVATION AND EXPANSION.

I am once again proud to be sharing this annual report with faculty, colleagues, alumni and community supporters

of the School of Rehabilitation Science (SRS). The report highlights the SRS’s accomplishments from January 2013 – June 2014. As a School, we are delighted with all that we have accomplished in this time period. We would not experience our successes without the relationships that we have fostered with the community and the partnerships we have created both internal and external to McMaster.

The SRS has continued to demonstrate excellence in both education and research. This is evident through the numerous research grants that our faculty members have received and through the awards and accomplishments of both our faculty and students. The grants awarded to our faculty have allowed the School to excel in several key areas including; aging and wellness, pain and disability, stroke rehabilitation and childhood disability among many other important areas of rehabilitation research. Through funding gained through McMaster’s first Forward With Integrity program, the SRS was also able to successfully

launch the MAC H2OPE clinic; a partnership with the YMCA located in downtown Hamilton designed to help support the unmet rehab needs of the surrounding community while providing a positive learning opportunity for students. SRS faculty and students have been widely recognized over the past eighteen months with numerous awards and accolades and have been featured in the media. Their accomplishments are highlighted throughout this report.

Within our educational programs we continue to introduce innovation and expansion. For example our Rehabilitation Science program introduced a new specialization within the MSc Course base option; the Advanced Orthopaedic Musculoskeletal / Manipulative Physical Therapy stream (OMPT), which is now available to students. Our professional programs in Occupational Therapy and Physiotherapy continue to attract the most applicants in Ontario. Through our collaborations with the

DeGroote School of Business, our Master of Health Management is thriving and we celebrated the first graduating class in May of 2013.

In 2013 the SRS welcomed two new physiotherapy faculty members. Dr. Ada Tang came to the SRS from the University of British Columbia and has already achieved a significant accomplishment within her appointment having received a Heart and Stroke Clinician-Scientist Career Award. Dr. Michelle Kho is “one of our own” having completed her physiotherapy training and her PhD at McMaster. We are delighted that Dr. Kho is the first Canada Research Chair within the SRS. We also celebrated the retirement of two important, long-standing contributors to the SRS. Dr. Mary Law retired from the SRS as of June 30, 2014, leaving an enormous legacy within the SRS, McMaster and the broader OT community (read more on p. 16). Nancy Plews, Assistant Clinical Professor and SRS Administrator also retired in September 2013. We thank both for their commitment and contributions to the SRS and the role they played in shaping the School into what it is today.

I invite you to continue reading this annual report where you will find more information on our School’s successes and noteworthy items.

Physiotherapy

The SRS Physiotherapy (PT) Program prepares students with the knowledge, skills and professional behaviours required to practice as autonomous, entry-level clinicians. With an emphasis on problem-based, small group and self-directed learning, the Program integrates academic and clinical educational experiences over 25 months. In November 2013, 65 students graduated, ready to shine as PT Program graduates applying their knowledge and skills in a variety of roles and diverse practice environments.

The PT faculty continue to demonstrate national and international leadership through their publications, knowledge translation activities, grants, awards, and accolades. There are many examples, including: Joy MacDermid awarded a CIHR Research Chair in Gender, Work and Health; Dr. Monica Maly, received the Ontario Physiotherapy Association’s (OPA) Award for Research; and one of the SRS’s newest PT faculty members, Dr. Ada Tang, was the recipient of a Heart and Stroke Foundation Clinician-Scientist award, as well as an Ontario Ministry of Innovation and Research early researcher award for her work in stroke rehabilitation.

The calibre of McMaster physiotherapy students also shone in 2013/2014. PT students took the Physiotherapy Foundation of Canada Fun Run Student Challenge prize, raising the most dollars among PT schools competing, with Class of 2014 student Sarah Luxon spear-

heading the team. There was strong representation of current students and past graduates at the OPA and Canadian Physiotherapy Association (CPA) annual meetings. This included students Samantha Austin, Emily LeBlanc, and Patrick Milne, whose REBP project placed second in the 2014 Ann Collins Whitmore Student Competition; and, Class of

2014 student, Anik Sarkar, winning CPA Congress’ inaugural “2 minutes, 2 slides” competition.

The program has been focusing on curriculum renewal, as well as Program accreditation, with the onsite review scheduled for November 2014. The strength, commitment and caliber of McMaster s faculty, staff and clinical instructors is evident.

David Evans, MSc PT class of 2014Following

his graduation from McMaster’s Physiotherapy (PT) program, David Evans is looking forward

to practicing in the areas of orthopedics and sports in Halifax, NS.

He attributes his confidence in taking this major career step to skills he acquired in the two year Master’s program, which is rooted in problem-based and small group learning. The program fosters collaboration among students and combines academic and clinical learning.

“What is impressive about McMaster’s PT program is the strength of and the opportunity for self-directed learning,” said Evans. “The intensity of research generated by physiotherapy faculty and clinicians who are recognized internationally for applying evidence-based practice in physiotherapy is equally as inspiring.”

Evans also appreciated the opportunities offered outside the classroom where he gained complementary skills through a wide range of activities including serving as a multiple-mini interviewer for the program’s admissions day and as the programs lab assistant.

“WHAT IS IMPRESSIVE ABOUT McMASTER’S PT PROGRAM IS THE STRENGTH OF AND THE OPPORTUNITY FOR SELF-DIRECTED LEARNING.” – David Evans

Occupational Therapy

The SRS Occupational Therapy (OT) program prepares students for a career in OT by educating students to acquire a comprehensive knowledge base, building strong clinical skills and developing appropriate professional behaviours required of occupational therapists today. The two year professional Masters of Science program is divided between in-course learning and practical clinical experience through five terms of university study and four complementary clinical education placements. In November 2013, the OT program graduated 62 students with the knowledge and skills required to practice as successful therapists in

communities across the country. The OT program continues to

boast a strong faculty; recognized for their contribution and leadership within their respective fields and who remain at the forefront of the discipline. This strength was exemplified in 2013/2014 with Dr Joyce Tryssenaar receiving the Barbara Sexton Lectureship at Western University’s School of Occupational Therapy and Dr Mary Law receiving the Lifetime Membership Award from the Canadian Association of Occupational Therapists. Beyond the receipt of honours and awards, the OT faculty had another year of success with numerous research

grants and publications and were also highlighted in media outlets such as CBC news, the Montreal Gazette, and the Windsor Star.

The OT curriculum was revised starting in 2012 and has become more firmly rooted with positive impacts. The new program structure has made it easier to work with community partners (and vice versa) to meet the practica placement demands of the clinical education component of the program. The focus has now shifted to accreditation (2016) to ensure that all of the components are in place to demonstrate the exemplary education offered in the Occupational Therapy Program at McMaster.

“THIS PROGRAM ALLOWS ME TO DRIVE FORWARD WITH MY PASSION.” – Lindsay Blackman

Lindsay Blackman, MSc OT class of 2014Second-year

Occupational Therapy (OT) student Lindsay Blackman finds McMaster University’s OT program is

an excellent complement to her passion for promoting opportunities for people with disabilities and marginalized groups, and her desire to challenge the status quo.

“This program allows me to drive forward with my passion,” she said.

Blackman, 24, who holds a degree in labour studies from McMaster, finds similarities between her studies in the two programs. “Both programs speak to advocacy and allowing individuals access to needed tools and knowledge that will allow them to move forward in their life in a meaningful way. Both programs speak to the individual and environmental influences that impact day to day life,” she said.

While searching for graduate programs across multiple

universities to determine the program most compatible with her interests and learning style, she discovered McMaster’s OT program grounded in self-directed/problem-based learning.

“I really felt I knew that this was the place for me,” she said. “After discovering this program, I further read into the role of an occupational therapist, talked to one of my friends who is an OT in mental health, and realized quickly that the program, and a career in OT, was a great fit for me.”

Jordan Miller, RS PhD candidateA registered

physiotherapist working with people with musculoskeletal injuries, Jordan Miller questioned

whether or not something more could be done to help people with persistent pain and prevent patients from progressing from acute to chronic pain.

“Through pursuing my PhD with the Rehabilitation Science (RS) Graduate program, I have started to fill in knowledge gaps and have learned how to best approach answering the clinical questions I was asking,” he said. “Going through the RS program has also broadened my look at physiotherapy, rehabilitation, pain and disability through collaboration with colleagues in diverse fields.”

Miller said the RS Program has also fostered his passion for clinical research, confirming for him his decision to switch career paths from clinician to academic. “The School of Rehabilitation Science has given me the knowledge, skills and experiences needed to succeed as an independent scientist,” he said. “I have had the opportunity to gain strong theoretical foundations, an understanding of research methodology, grantsmanship skills, and practical experience conducting research, writing and teaching.”

The SRS offers three graduate options in Rehabilitation Science. The graduate program focuses on clinically relevant research that advances rehabilitation particularly in the areas of childhood disability and participation; neuromusculoskeletal function and mobility; functional health with aging and chronic disease; work, ability, and participation; Orthopedics Manipulative Physical Therapy (OMPT); and, best practice and knowledge translation. The three options include a Master of Science Course-based, a Master of Science Thesis-based, and a PhD. In the 2013-2014 academic year, there were 116 students enrolled in the program.

This year, the RS program introduced the new Master’s Course-based, Advanced Orthopaedic Manipulative Physical Therapy stream (OMPT). This stream develops a specialization standard in OMPT practice. The objective of this stream is to advance scientific knowledge, clinical reasoning application, and clinical and research skills development with a broad appreciation of the concepts of

clinical measurement and integrated evidence-based practice in OMPT.

The RS Graduate Program successfully completed its Institutional Quality Assessment Process this academic year. External reviewers were complementary and noted the excellence of the curriculum, supervisors, trainees and the positive outcomes for our graduates.

In 2014, the calibre of the faculty involved in the program was acknowledged through a published analysis by Dr Joy MacDermid demonstrating the impact of OT and PT faculty from departments

across Canada. In this analysis McMaster faculty had the highest productivity and the three most productive PT/OT faculty members in Canada were from McMaster, as indicated by the H-index.

Student excellence was acknowledged as a number of our students received highly competitive scholarships and research awards, such as the Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarship; Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) Doctoral Scholarship; CIHR JuMP Training Grant; Ontario Graduate Scholarship; Ontario Women’s Health Scholarship; and, Faculty of Health Science Awards.

“THE RS PROGRAM HAS BROADENED MY LOOK AT PHYSIOTHERAPY, REHABILITATION, PAIN AND DISABILITY THROUGH COLLABORATION WITH COLLEAGUES IN DIVERSE FIELDS.” – Jordan Miller

Master of Health Management

“THE ONLINE, PART-TIME METHOD ALLOWED ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO STUDY AND LEARN IN A WAY THAT WOULD NOT OTHERWISE BE AVAILABLE TO ME, GIVEN MY GEOGRAPHY AND FAMILY COMMITMENTS.”

– Amy Riske

Amy Riske, MHM student, class of 2014A five-week locum

in Inuvik, Northwest Territories turned into 15 years and counting for Amy Riske, program coordinator at

the Child Development Centre in Whitehorse, Yukon.

It’s 5,396 kilometres from Whitehorse to Hamilton, Ontario but that didn’t deter Amy Riske from

enrolling in McMaster University’s Master of Health Management Program, a partnership between the DeGroote School of Business and the School of Rehabilitation Science which offers an on-line, part-time program for business-focused health professionals.

“The MHM program helped me apply evidence-based practice beyond individual clients to programs and policies,” Riske said.

“The online, part-time method allowed me the opportunity to study and learn in a way that would not otherwise be available to me, given my geography and family commitments.”

She said the learning and experiences of the past three years in the MHM program helped in both her day-to-day work and changed the way she thinks about her future career goals.

Offered in partnership between the DeGroote School of Business and the School of Rehabilitation Science, the Master of Health Management (MHM) program prepares regulated healthcare professionals to meet the demands of a career in health management. This part-time distance education degree utilizes the latest asynchronous, on-line teaching techniques with two short, intensive, onsite residency periods to deliver the program. Experts with experience in academia, industry and government teach students the skills needed to solve complex healthcare problems.

As of November 2013, enrollment in the program grew to 110 bright and highly motivated students coming from diverse healthcare professions and extending coast to coast. The program had the privilege of graduating a total of 39 students during this time, 13 from the Cohort of 2013 and 26

from the Cohort of 2014. Student excellence was recognized by the MHM program with the presentation of the Award of Excellence, the Scholarly Paper Award, and the Community Contribution Award at the yearly June convocation reception. Many students also earned the Certified Health Executive designation, while working on their degree, through an alliance between the MHM program and the Canadian College of Health Leaders.

The residency periods were again a great success for both the program and the students. These residencies enable students to learn from local health executives; provide students the chance to experience a face-to-face connection with their peers; and give the students an opportunity to expand their professional network. The periods also allow students to meet with faculty who could potentially serve as their advisor

in conjunction with the program’s scholarly paper component. Recent residency keynote speakers have included Donna Cripps, the Chief Executive Officer of the Hamilton Niagara Haldimand Brant Local Health Integration Network; Brenda Flaherty, Executive Vice-President for Hamilton Health Sciences and; Dr. Samantha Nutt, Founder and Executive Director of WarChild.

In June of 2014, the program bid farewell to one of the MHM’s Co-Directors, Dr. Mary Law. It was through Mary’s creative vision that led to the launch of MHM and her steadfast leadership that has helped shape MHM into the successful program it is today. Dr. Patty Solomon was appointed to the Co-Director position from the SRS. As Associate Dean of the SRS, Dr. Solomon brings enormous experience and knowledge to the role and enthusiasm for helping to lead the MHM through its next chapter.

HPEPWe are excited to announce

approval for our new program, the Health Professional Entrance Preparation (HPEP) Certificate Program! The HPEP Undergraduate Certificate is designed for international students who hold a 4-year baccalaureate degree and will prepare graduates with the

broad-based skills to enter health professional programs including medicine, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, speech language pathology, nursing, midwifery, physician assistant and others at universities and colleges across Canada. With a focus on increasing an understanding of the health

care system and the roles of the regulated health professions, building foundational knowledge and skills of the health professions and on enhancing written and interpersonal communication, graduates of HPEP will be better prepared for entry and success in Canadian health professional programs.

OTEPPInitiated in 2008, with funding

from the Government of Ontario and later the Government of Canada, the Occupational Therapy Examination and Practice Preparation (OTepp) project aims to assist internationally educated occupational therapists (IEOTs) and re-entry occupational therapists as they seek to transition into practice in Canada. The certificate program consists of four academic courses and one 300-hour practicum

course, with students able to attend sessions face-to-face or online.

Since its inception, nearly 92% of IEOTS who completed the certificate program passed the National Occupational Therapy Certification Exam, over 80% received licensure, and 75% obtained employment as occupational therapists. OTepp’s students come from countries around the world, truly representing our global

community. The OTepp team is proud of the many successes of its students and graduates.

With guidance from the SRS, financial programs for internationally educated professionals, and support from OT regulators, OTepp continues its evolution from research project to self-sustaining program. Program Director Sue Baptiste looks forward to continued success for this important resource for IEOTs wishing to practice in Canada.

A caring heart Mary Law Professor Emeritus, SRS, McMaster University

“I really love what I do and it has been a privilege to do it and be recognized.” – Mary Law

Throughout her career as researcher, teacher and clinician, Mary Law has been lauded for the difference her caring heart has made to the lives of children with disabilities and their families.

“I really love what I do and it has been a privilege to do it and be recognized,” said Law who retired in June, 2014 as Professor in McMaster University’s School of Rehabilitation Science.

An occupational therapist, she served as Associate Dean and Director of the School of Rehabilitation Science, held the John and Margaret Lillie Chair in Childhood Disability Research and was the Co-Director of the MHM program and CanChild. During Law`s tenure the School of Rehabilitation Science grew significantly both nationally and internationally.

With developmental pediatrician Dr. Peter Rosenbaum, she founded CanChild, a research and educational centre that is a world leader and premium source for childhood disability information. After successfully winning a provincial government competition, the two pioneers created a network linking McMaster researchers with those in children’s rehabilitation centres throughout Ontario. “The focus is on research that is meaningful to children, their families and service providers,” she said.

Twenty-five years later, CanChild is still going strong, growing into a world-wide network. “We are doing a lot of knowledge translation through our website to which we get 15,000 visitors a month,” Law said.

In May, The Canadian Association of Occupational Therapists presented Law with its Lifetime Membership Award.

Law is the recipient of several dozen awards, including her selection as keynote speaker at the World Federation of Occupational Therapists Congress in Santiago, Chile in 2012 and the Whittaker memorial Cerebral Palsy Award presented to her in 1999 by the Ontario Association of Children’s Rehabilitation Services for outstanding achievement in rehabilitation research and development for children with cerebral palsy.

Years ago, as a young student, Law randomly selected occupational therapy as a career

never expecting it would lead to an international career in which she served as an expert consultant to institutions as far away as South Africa, the Netherlands, Israel and Australia.

Her prolific lifetime publications include 14 books, 66 chapters in books, 208 papers in refereed journals, 67 papers in refereed conference proceedings, 50 technical reports and 285 abstracts and/or papers.

Her instincts on uncovering better ways to improve the lives of children with disabilities continues to be as ground-breaking as ever.

“We have just finished an intervention study looking at how changes in the environment within a community can help youth with disabilities participate in community activities,” she said.

The environment of this research, and how it can be altered is the focus so that children with disabilities can participate in everything from baseball and riding a bike to hanging out with friends.

Reflecting on her 24 years at McMaster, Law said she appreciates the collaboration that has been fostered within the School, Faculty, and across the University and the opportunity to work with great teams of people. “I’m of the belief that no one individual can make a difference,” she said. “It’s by working together with excellent people that you really can do well.”

Her instincts on uncovering better ways to improve the lives of children with disabilities continue to be as ground-breaking as ever.

Student physiotherapists and occupational therapists are gaining excellent educational training and real-world skills in the unique MAC H2OPE clinic in downtown Hamilton, a partnership between the School of Rehabilitation Science and Hamilton’s YMCA. The clinic was initially developed as part of a proposal for McMaster University’s Forward with Integrity Fund (FWI). This fund was established as a result of President Patrick Deane’s FWI initiative, which encourages students to be involved in the broader Hamilton and global community. MAC H2OPE is also a part of Live Well – a comprehensive group of exercise and education programs made possible through a partnership between the YMCA of Hamilton/Burlington/Brantford, McMaster University and Hamilton Health Sciences.

Under the supervision of registered therapists, students

assess and treat individuals who have a wide range of conditions, such as acute or chronic neurological challenges and musculoskeletal injuries, and who do not have access to publicly funded OT or PT services, or extended health insurance coverage. At MAC H2OPE students gain valuable clinical and organizational experience while enabling improved quality of life for people who may be at risk in health and wellbeing.

For both students and clients, MAC H2OPE has been an overwhelming success. Sarah Wojkowski and Lorie Shimmell, Directors of Clinical Education for the PT and OT programs respectfully, have indicated that the clinic has had a “phenomenal response” from the community. There continues to be on-going demand for services, with a growing waiting list of over 60

people. Current students and PT/OT graduates, also praise the deeper insights into patient care they are gaining from their experiences at the clinic. Meaghan Barker, a class of 2015 Physiotherapy student noted that she was able to “… see different aspects of physiotherapy that I hadn’t personally experienced before.” Meaghan was at the clinic 2 days per week and combined her placement at MAC H2OPE with research at a private clinic.

Jessica Campbell, a registered Occupational Therapist and a 2013 graduate from the MSc(OT) program, completed her last clinical rotation at MAC H2OPE. She reflected on her time at MAC H2OPE by indicating, “the clinic gave me the opportunity to put my skills into practice before entering the workplace,” she said. “It gave me confidence and brought all my skills together.”

CanChild is an internationally-renowned research centre located within the School of Rehabilitation Science in partnership with the Department of Pediatrics. CanChild is comprised of a multi-disciplinary team of researchers and educators who collaborate to improve the life quality of children and youth with disabilities and their families. Investigators at CanChild are world leaders in generating innovative knowledge with respect to childhood disability.

On Monday, June 23, 2014 members of CanChild, media, parents, and children gathered at McMaster to celebrate the first 25 years of the centre. In attendance were the two founders, Drs. Peter Rosenbaum and Mary Law, who were able to reflect on how far CanChild has come. Dr. Law notes that, “25 years ago we didn’t have reliable and valid ways to measure the outcomes of our services. [As well] our interventions really only focused on ways of changing the child.” She credits the work of CanChild as having taken a leading role in how therapies are developed and evaluated, and also in reconsidering the kinds of outcomes that services can provide.

While Rosenbaum admits that they had no idea that the organization would last twenty-

five years, the numbers offered at the celebration told an impressive story. During its life, CanChild has received more than $40 million in research grants. All of it received within an area of research that can easily go overlooked.

Dr. Patrick Deane, the president of McMaster University, noted that “CanChild has the pleasure of reflecting on its accomplishments, which are extraordinary. The centre has developed major research programs in the field of childhood disability research. It has established a world-renowned knowledge translation and exchange program. It has fostered a reputation for recruiting the brightest investigators and carefully training the next generation of outstanding scholars, promoting innovation and inspiring critical thinking about these issues along the way.”

The reflections of parents and children from the anniversary celebration supplemented the accomplishments of CanChild. “No one wants to go through this alone,” says Christine Chambers, mother of Kyle Chambers, about her family’s involvement in research and knowledge translation. “We want to be a part of helping other families.” Indeed, that’s what CanChild is ultimately all about.
