康复与参与科学（RAPS）博士计划旨在培养康复科学家，其研究问题的明确选择是基于其产生可增强健康，改善生活质量以及减少疾病和残疾的康复知识的潜力。我们的博士培训模型基于指导研究的模型，其中学生将大部分时间用于从第一学期开始的研究活动，并且变得越来越独立。学生选择在OT项目中担任主要职务的康复科学家作为导师，以帮助他们将研究重点放在慢性病，循证护理，干预，认知康复，神经康复，健康促进，减少继发性疾病，改善人们的身体适应性等领域残疾，康复成果和信息学。RAPS博士课程的毕业生将为从事学术康复研究科学家的职业做
The Rehabilitation and Participation Science (RAPS) PhD program aims to develop rehabilitation scientists whose research questions are chosen based explicitly on their potential to generate rehabilitation knowledge that will enhance health, improve quality of life, and reduce illness and disability. Our doctoral training model is based on that of mentored research, wherein students devote the majority of their time to research activities beginning in the first semester and become increasingly independent. Students choose rehabilitation scientists who hold primary appointments in the OT program as mentors to help focus their study in the areas of chronic diseases, evidence-based care, interventions, cognitive rehabilitation, neurorehabilitation, health promotion, decreasing secondary conditions, improving physical fitness for people with disabilities, and rehabilitation outcomes and informatics. Graduates of the RAPS PhD program will be prepared for a career as an academic rehabilitation research scientist. This program is designed to be completed in four to five years of full-time study. There is no provision for part-time study. A tuition stipend and fellowship is provided for up to four years with the possibility of a one-year extension.
