MASSAGE THERAPY
Clinical Practice
A fundamental part of the program is the integration of theoretical knowledge with clinical skills, as you move from the classroom to the therapeutic environment of the on-site teaching clinic. Through clinical practice courses and internships, you will develop into a highly knowledgeable therapist with the skills and confidence to move into professional practice in a wide range of health and wellness environments.
International students must have a co-op work permit before starting field placement, clinical practice or practicum. A co-op work permit is different from your study permit; it is an additional permit that authorizes international students to participate in work that is integral to their program of study. If you will be working with vulnerable populations in a health, community or medical field, you will need an up-to-date medical exam by an IRCC-approved panel physician before applying for a co-op work permit.
Ask MacEwan International about the documents you need to have to apply. You should apply for a co-op work permit 4-6 months before the start of your field placement, clinical practice or practicum as current IRCC processing times are lengthy.
