In Physiotherapy: Research Internship students will develop advanced research skills in one or more of the following physiotherapy practice areas: clinical skills, research translation, administration, leadership, program and policy development, advocacy, education or theory development. This community-based internship builds upon the background research proposal and pilot project completed in pre-requisite coursework during the Doctor of Physiotherapy, including Evidence Based Practice Research subjects, physiotherapy coursework and clinical placements. Under the supervision of an academic mentor and in collaboration with an industry partner, students will undertake an independent scholarly study that meets their personal learning objectives and contributes to new knowledge in the field. The duration of the capstone doctoral internship is a minimum of 12 weeks or equivalent to 60 days/450 hours and provides the foundation for the subsequent development of a doctoral thesis.
