Course description
There are 6 full day workshops associated with this course. The aim of this course is to equip students with breadth as well as depth in knowledge of core rehabilitation psychology areas, and how to effectively work alongside an interdisciplinary rehabilitation team. Students will develop competence in essential evidence-based practice skills and assessment for implementation across critical rehabilitation services (e.g. enhancing motivation for participation in rehabilitation, overcoming fear of movement, adherence to rehabilitation programs, adjustment following injury etc.) and populations (e.g. pain, spinal cord injury, geriatric rehabilitation, traumatic injury etc.).
