The Rehabilitation Sciences Sector DMP is open to MScOT, MScPT and MHScSLP students from social, cultural, and or economically diverse communities. Students can apply to be matched with a clinician mentor who is able to support in their educational and professional development. The Office of Learner Affairs is responsible for organizing the mentorship match between learner mentee and clinician mentor. Learner mentees who are matched with a mentor are then encouraged to take leadership in the relationship, to ensure that they are able to get the most value from their experience.
