David What is your Department of Physical Therapy a department of? I trained in the Department of Occupational Therapy in the University of Alberta, Faculty of Rehabilitation. PT, OT and Speech all rehabilitation therapists. We took a lot of our basic courses together. Indeed I know quite a few therapists who were cross trained in school and opted for one or the other discipline in their final semester. I think the University of British Columbia was the last school in Canada to give up complete dual training. Is there a similar history in the US? Many of the Canadian OT departments are now departments of Occupational Therapy and Occupational Science and many are in a larger grouping of Rehabilitation. I think U of A is the only freestanding Faculty of Rehabilitation but there are Divisions of Rehabilitation or something similar in Faculties of Medicine. Is this also true in the UDS?
