IslandPTgal Posted May 4, 2020 Report Share Posted May 4, 2020 Congrats everybody! I have a friend who applied to OT and still has not heard anything from Dal, do you think they sent out all acceptances today, or do you think they will continue to do so tomorrow? hopeIbeOT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhysioTherapyApplications Posted May 5, 2020 Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 Hi, I have applied to Masters of PT Programs with Queens, Western, and Dal. I know Western does their acceptances through their Student Center (which I of course have forgotten my login information and can't seem to figure out how to get it reset through their website), but does anyone know when Queens is sending out acceptances, or how they are? I can see from this thread that Dal will be this week or next week, probably via email, but I have no idea with Queens and am getting nervous. Thanks!

FuturePT2020 Posted May 5, 2020 Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 For those of you who have been accepted into DAL's OT program; did they mention anything about their current plan for delivering the curriculum with COVID-19? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what they said in the letter: "Please note, due to COVID‐19 and physical distancing protocols, the MSc(OT) program may start with online course delivery in September 2020 with gradual return to in‐person courses when allowed." And also that we would know more about course delivery in July. I'd imagine it will at least start out online.

NorthernPTapplicant Posted May 5, 2020 Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 Also is anyone's "current program" row updated when they log into their dal application?

Replying to this as I am sure a few applicants share the same thoughts: (I am a current PT 2 Student) **assumption is made that people are worried about clinical hands on skills here** - The universities will adapt the curriculums to front load topics that do not require hands on skills such as rules and regulations, ethics, research courses, anatomy lectures, education and exercise prescription and so on. What is currently going on (at least at my school) is we are learning material that we can online and once we are given the green light to return to some in person labs (right now projecting to be July once again this varies by school) we will cover the material that was more "hands on" - I can confirm lots of material you learn in PT school does not require hands on work, in fact just recently we went a very long time in our clinical skills lab without even learning hands on skills (chronic pain education, how to incorporate mindfulness, exercise prescription for various conditions ect) and this was pre covid I can imagine it is very stressful to potentially enter into a program virtually but I can assure you the schools won't just not teach you the material it will simply just be re structured, thus I highly encourage everyone to accept offers if they are fortunate to receive them! If anyone has any follow up questions at all please PM me, happy to try and help ! accountdeleted, NorthernPTapplicant and natOT 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A big question for me is that, do we move to the location of the university we get accepted to in September? If we do move, we still might not have classes for another while. This would be relatively costly, depending on the location. If we don't move, in person classes could resume quicker than anticipated, making it difficult to find a place to live. Regardless, it's likely we will miss orientation week and the entire experience of meeting everyone in your class at the start of the program (I'm getting extremely ahead of myself though because I haven't even heard back from any school yet) PT - U of O, rehabhopeful and NorthernPTapplicant 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTdal Posted May 5, 2020 Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 Has anyone had to do the English proficiency test for dalhousie or wasn’t sure if they needed to do it? I’m confused if only international students have to do it or if bilingual (french and english) people also have to do it. I’m wondering if the graduate faculty can refuse entry if not done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
