“McMaster’s Physiotherapy program is extremely unique in its use of Problem Based Learning (PBL) throughout the curriculum. Specifically, the problem based tutorials allow students to use self-directed learning through case studies to work through the material with the guidance of physiotherapists working in the field, giving insight and clinical expertise to the learning environment. These tutorials are in smaller groups which create a great space for discussion and opportunities to clarify any questions around the topics to ensure everyone is understanding the material. In addition, the concepts that are covered in tutorial align with what is being taught in clinical labs and anatomy courses allowing students to really focus on the content and apply clinical skills to the tutorials, and vice versa. The self-directed nature of the program translates extremely well to clinical placements and eventual clinical practice by having the skills to independently research unfamiliar topics and understanding how to will apply them in practice.”
