Congratulations to the first graduates of our interprofes-
sional, Online Graduate Certificate Program in Chronic Pain
Management, the newest of the School of Physical & Occu-
pational Therapy’s Online Graduate Certificate programs.
The program is offered in English and in French (graduates
completed the course in the language of their choice).
These first graduates come from a range of professional
backgrounds including occupational therapy, physical ther-
apy, nursing, medicine and psychology and are working
healthcare professionals from across Canada. Daniela
Frabasile, OT, explains the benefits of the evidence-based
skills, tools and knowledge she has acquired during the pro-
gram and how applicable they have been to her practice; her
comments and more can be found in this website video.

challenges which were overcome included the translation of
all materials, group work and feedback for students in two
languages, creating a rich and interactive online interdiscipli-
nary environment, continuing education accreditation.
The program is growing each year, and the location that
current students come from now covers five out of the seven
continents. In addition, this program that is hosted by the
School of Physical & Occupational Therapy, is approved for
Continuing Medical Education credits in Canada and the
United States.
To the Graduates: May you continue to grow and excel
in the world of OT and the evoloving interprofessional world
of healthcare!
