Message From the Chair and Associate Chair

We are pleased to present the 2011-2012 annual report for the Department of Physical Therapy. This year was quite a busy year. We underwent a Physiotherapy Education Accreditation Canada (PEAC) review and signed on with Physiotherapy Alberta to develop a bridging program for internationally educated physical therapists. Our Corbett Hall Student PT Clinic expanded its services and began to offer full clinical placements. We received approximately 550 qualified applicants, an increase of about 70 applications from the previous 3 years for the MScPT program. This year, for the first time, we introduced the multiple mini interviews (MMI) into the admission process. Two hundred students participated in the MMI and 94 new students (66 women and 28 men) were accepted into our MScPT program. Eighty-two students were accepted at the University of Alberta’s North Campus (Edmonton) and another 12 were accepted to the Augustana Campus (in Camrose). In November we proudly graduated 83 new Physical Therapists.

The PEAC peer review team visited the Edmonton and Augustana campuses in early March. In addition to concluding that the MScPT Program was fully compliant with all the PEAC standards, the peer review team made note of the innovations in teaching and delivery they observed while on site. The UofA MScPT Program was granted full PEAC Accreditation until 2018. The inclusion of a satellite campus in the evaluation was a first for Canadian PT programs.

A grant received from the Alberta Government (Employment and Immigration) is providing funding for the development of an Internationally Educated Physical Therapist Bridging Program (IEPTBP). This project is being undertaken by a partnership between Physiotherapy Alberta and the Department. Carol Puri joined the Department in February 2012 as the IEPTBP bridging program director. The first intake of students is planned for May 2013. The Department is also involved with some current for-credit and certification courses as well as the development of upcoming certification programs. The Department is a leader in Canada in the use of technology for delivery and this is something that continues to enhance our entry-level, graduate and continuing professional education programming.


Within the Department there were a number of significant projects completed this year. We completed construction of a second lab at our Augustana Campus. This space was developed to accommodate the doubling of the Augustana cohort with 12 students entering year 1, joining the initial cohort of 10 students who are now in second year. The construction of the Calgary satellite site in the University of Calgary Downtown Centre was completed in late spring of 2012 and the grand opening of the Calgary satellite, which was well attended by those in the physical therapy and education communities, was held in June.

Our faculty members continue to be at the forefront of research; this year they published 75 peer-reviewed articles, one book, 7 book chapters and 127 abstracts/conference presentations. Our faculty also conducted 31 workshops over the course of this past year and our Department also hosted 9 Webinars for the professional community. As principle or co-investigators our faculty members acquired approximately $1.4 million dollars in new grants while the overall current funding for all of our research programs approaches $10 million. We are also very proud of our research graduate students who acquired over $467,000 in awards and scholarships this past year.

The Corbett Hall Student PT Clinic has significantly expanded both its services and student learning opportunities. Beginning in November 2011, along with MScPT clinical and research protocol elective courses, full student placements have been offered to UofA MScPT and Kinesiology students. Students from other Canadian PT Programs as well as international students and IEPTs are also completing placements with us. Several Clinical Track faculty members are working within the clinic providing patient care and student supervision. The caseload remains mixed including patients with MSK, Neuro or Chronic Pain concerns, for example. This venue continues to develop as a hub for both education and rehabilitation and educational research.

Message From the Chair and Associate Chair...

We hope that this annual report will give you a sense of the ongoing activities within the Department of Physical Therapy.

The Clinical Education Team continues to work with partners in the public and private health care sectors to ensure enough appropriate placements are secured for students. Placement offers for the fall currently are healthy, particularly in private practice. All students have been placed for 523 with 70 spare offers for this time slot alone. The Team will continue to work with community partners to increase placement capacity in the public health care system in preparation for our increased enrollment.

The Corbett Clinic has had three students complete full placements in the clinic which will be augmented by out of province students in the fall. In addition, four students have completed placements in the students led clinic initiative at the Glenrose hospital which will also be augmented by out of province students to ensure continuity of care.

The ACCE and Calgary Coordinator of Clinical Education continue to meet regularly with clinical site coordinators to disseminate information about the program, to discuss clinical education and to solicit feedback from sites. In addition, a number of visits to sites have been undertaken in and around both Edmonton and Calgary while students are on clinical placement to meet clinical supervisors and get oriented to facilities. A program update and feedback webinar was held in October 2010 to further connect with clinicians across the province. The webinar aimed to provide information about changes in the academic and clinical program and to seek feedback from clinicians about student and new graduate clinical performance. This has been well received and will be repeated in 2011.

Two half day interprofessional clinical supervision workshops were held in both Edmonton and Red Deer. For the first time these workshops were also offered using the PT Department video conferencing system and delivered live to 22 clinicians in the PT satellite campus in downtown Calgary. The workshops focused on educating potential supervisors about the basics of student supervision as well as dealing with challenging students.

Workshops were well attended in both cities with a good mix of therapists from all three rehabilitation disciplines. In addition, the Clinical Education Team has offered additional preparatory sessions and workshops to physiotherapists in both Edmonton and Calgary.

The Augustana Satellite in Camrose was launched in 2010 in response to the Government of Alberta’s forecast of significant shortages of Physical Therapists in the Alberta workforce. Building on the success of the Augustana satellite, funding was received to develop an additional satellite program in Calgary in 2012. Beginning in September 2012, the Department of Physical Therapy will offer the MScPT program at three sites in Alberta: Edmonton, Camrose and Calgary. Students at each campus will complete the same core program of required courses by attending class via videoconferencing technology. Each location offers unique elective opportunities reflective of local expertise and community partnerships in addition to the online electives available to all students enrolled in the program.

Preliminary findings indicate that the distributed education model piloted in Augustana is very successful. Feedback from students, faculty and staff at both sites is positive and students are performing on par with their counterparts at the Edmonton Campus. The Associate Chair of the Physical Therapy Department, Professor Bernadette Martin, leads a three year research project to evaluate the impact of the Augustana satellite project on student performance and engagement, instructor experience and community relations. Final results are anticipated in 2014.


The 2011-2012 academic year marks the second operational year of the Augustana satellite. Under the leadership of the new MScPT Coordinator Augustana, Lisa Jasper, the second cohort of 12 Augustana students was admitted and the inaugural cohort prepared for their final term. With the addition of a second cohort, the program welcomed Ms Connie Harrison to the staff as a Physical Therapy Assistant and a third educational space was renovated. The new multi-functional room was developed and equipped to operate as a lab, seminar room or practical exam space as required.

The MScPT program partnered with the Augustana Vikings Athletic Program to launch a Physical Therapy Varsity Clinic directed by Physical Therapy Professor Chris Zarski. Additional partnerships with the Augustana Campus and Camrose community resulted in the development of several elective opportunities for the Augustana Cohort of students.

The Augustana campus and community of Camrose have been both extremely welcoming and supportive of the MScPT program.


The 2011-2012 academic year has been one of preparation at the MScPT Calgary Satellite Campus. The Department worked closely with various departments at the University of Alberta and University of Calgary to find the MScPT program a home in the University of Calgary’s Downtown Centre. A lab, classroom, seminar room and practice space were renovated to meet the needs of the MScPT program and the space was equipped with the distributed education technology necessary to conduct classes.

Jacky Chow, MScPT Coordinator-Calgary solidified a unique arrangement with the University of Calgary that allows the MScPT students access to the UofC libraries, recreational facilities and transit passes. Students will also have access to UofA services enjoyed by the Augustana and Edmontoncohorts. In preparation for the first cohort, the Calgary Clinical Education Coordinator, Jon Gabbai, began expanding the program’s existing clinical networks in southern Alberta with great success.

During this time, the Calgary satellite campus faculty worked closely with the Faculty of Rehabilitation Medicine Technology Group and faculty at both Augustana and Edmonton to trial the technology over the three sites. The testing was successful and the site is ready to welcome the first Calgary cohort in the fall of 2012.


The Corbett Hall Student Physical Therapy Clinic was launched in 2009-2010 with a multi-fold purpose of teaching, service and research. Students in the MScPT program provide treatment and rehabilitation under the supervision of a licensed physical therapist gaining valuable clinical experience in a learning environment. Within the clinic, students are also able to engage in related learning activities such as the production of educational videos for University Health Services. As a student clinic, nominal fees for service allow the clinic to provide a valuable service for under-served populations who may not be able to access AHS public or private clinics. Researchers are able to make use of the well-equipped facility to conduct clinical research and through the use of student research assistants provide rich learning opportunities.

Building on the successful experience of the initial year of the Clinic, the Clinic Lead, Dr. Geoff Bostick, was able to secure a grant for clinic development and the Department worked with external consultants Myers Norris Penny to develop a Student Clinic Expansion Plan. At the close of 2012 a number of the pilot initiatives developed in the plan were implemented, such as moving from students attending the Clinic only in short term electives to hosting full clinical placements for students from the University of Alberta and from Physical Therapy programs across Canada. In 2011-2012 the Clinic hosted 4 placements: 2 University of Alberta students and 2 external students. In addition, the Clinic partnered with the Faculty of Physical Education and Recreation to provide a Varsity Clinic to treat University of Alberta Athletes. The Clinic continues to offer its two founding clinics: Mixed Caseload and Older Adult.


Mixed Caseload Clinic

This non-profit clinic offers care to people with neurological or musculoskeletal/orthopedic injuries or conditions. As student learning is emphasized, assessment and treatment sessions typically take longer than what patients would experience in a community physical therapy clinic/ambulatory setting. Physician referrals are not required. Number of Patients: 173 Number of Visits: 459

Older Adult Health and Wellness Student Clinic

The clinic is specifically designed to improve older adults’ general health and wellness, from improving balance and preventing falls to minimizing pain due to arthritis or developing a strength and conditioning program. The clinic is open to all abilities and conditions and strives to improve all attendees’ health with special emphasis on conditions that affect those aged 55 years and older. Number of Patients: 24 Number of Visits: 237

Varsity Clinic

Offered in partnership with the Faculty of Physical Education and Recreation, the Varsity Clinic runs during the academic year and serves the needs of the University of Alberta student athletes. One full-time Physical Therapist is dedicated to the care of athletes and also supervises student placements in the Varsity Clinic. Number of Patients: 143 Number of Visits: 1642


The SHINE Youth Clinic is a student-run health clinic providing a variety of free services to Edmonton’s underserved youth at the Boyle McCauley Health Centre.

The clinic is run by University of Alberta healthcare students from eight disciplines: physical therapy, medicine, dentistry, nursing, pharmacy, nutrition, counseling and psychology. Students are supervised by licensed health professionals.

The SHINE Youth Clinic provides services for free. No ID or Health Care number is required. No appointment necessary. The clinic is open on Saturdays from 2-6pm.

Physical therapy services are available on the 2nd and 4th Saturday of every month to help treat mainly musculoskeletal injuries, movement problems, repetitive stress injuries, pain, muscle soreness or stiffness, weakness and any difficulties with daily activities.

Participation in the SHINE Clinic is voluntary. Students take the lead in assessing and treating clients, and preceptors provide approval to the assessment finds and treatment plan and serve as a resource to guide clinical decisions.


Physical Therapy Recruitment Fair

Calgary Media Launch and Open House

On June 25, 2012 the Department of Physical Therapy hosted a recruitment fair where potential employers were invited to connect with upcoming graduates and discuss job opportunities within their organizations.
