Clinical Education
Clinical education courses (practica) encompassing in excess 1000 hours (as required by the World Federation of Occupational Therapists and the World Confederation for Physical Therapy) are interwoven into the professional curriculum. These fieldwork courses (practica) take place in teaching facilities associated with McGill University. These may include the McGill teaching network hospitals, but also under certain circumstances, extend to facilities located across Canada and internationally.

Language of Instruction
The language of instruction at McGill is English. Students may, if they wish, write term papers and examinations in French. It is recommended that students who lack proficiency in either French or English, use the opportunity to take an intensive English or French as a Second Language course prior to, or early, in their program of studies. Working knowledge of both languages is important for students who will be working in clinical affiliations throughout the province of Québec.
