The Government of Saskatchewan invested $37 million to establish the province's first-ever Master of Occupational Therapy and Master of Speech-Language Pathology programs at the University of Saskatchewan. Housed within the School of Rehabilitation Science in the College of Medicine, the new programs welcome their first cohort of 80 total students (40 in each program) this fall. This expansion significantly increases training capacity beyond the 50 seats previously available through interprovincial agreements, supporting the province's Health Human Resource Action Plan and Patients First Health Care Plan.
