Overview

The goal of the Collaborative Program in Resuscitation Sciences is to train scientists pursuing research in the optimal care of the acutely ill and injured patient and, ultimately, to create leaders in the discipline who will supervise others providing this level of scientific inquiry. The program appeals to students from a wide variety of backgrounds with an interest in any aspect of resuscitation science.
Resuscitation Sciences includes a number of medical areas such as trauma, critical care, emergency medicine, neurotrauma, anaesthesia, shock, sepsis, acute coronary syndrome, paediatric care, cardiovascular, peripheral vascular, and rehabilitation medicine. Many non-medicine disciplines such as engineering, basic science, and public health, as well as allied health professions such as nursing, pharmacy, and paramedicine, will find synergies in the Resuscitation Sciences program. Research programs can use methodologies ranging from molecular medicine and genomics through clinical trials and outcomes to engineering, health administration, and health prevention strategies. Resultant advances in knowledge will ultimately be applied to the clinical setting.
Interested students must first apply to and be accepted in one of the participating degree programs listed above, and then apply to the collaborative program. Students must follow a course of study acceptable to both the home unit and the collaborative program. Upon successful completion of the degree requirements of the participating home department and the collaborative program, students receive the notation "Completed Collaborative Program in Resuscitation Sciences" on their transcript and parchment.

Resuscitation Sciences: Master's-Level Program

Admission Requirements
  • Collaborative programs are administered under the auspices of the School of Graduate Studies.
  • Applicants must be accepted for admission to a participating graduate unit and comply with the admission procedures of that unit before applying to the Collaborative Program in Resuscitation Sciences.
  • Applicants must submit the following to the Program Committee of the Collaborative Program in Resuscitation Sciences:
  • a resumé or curriculum vitae (CV)
  • a personal statement explaining how their program of study and specific research interests relate to resuscitation science
  • a letter of recommendation from a faculty member, usually the thesis supervisor in a thesis-based graduate program, commenting on the student's academic abilities and likelihood for research success in the field of resuscitation sciences.
Program Requirements
  • Students must register in the master's degree program through one of the participating home graduate units. They must meet all respective degree requirements of the School of Graduate Studies and their participating home graduate unit.
  • In addition to meeting the home graduate unit program requirements, students will be required to:
  • take the core course MSC 4001H Foundations in Resuscitation Science Research
  • attend at least 75% of the SRM 3333H Resuscitation Sciences Graduate Seminar Series over two consecutive sessions
  • complete a thesis, comprehensive paper, or practicum (whichever is included in their program of study) in the area of resuscitation sciences under the supervision of a faculty member affiliated with the program
  • present their research at least once at either the CPRS Resuscitation in Motion scientific meeting or in the Foundations MSC 4001H core course.
