Oncology Rehabilitation
The Graduate Certificate in Oncology Rehabilitation (GCOR) in the Department of Human Movement Science is designed to provide advanced theoretical and psychomotor training for physical therapists interested in specializing in oncology rehabilitation. The GCOR allows practicing physical therapists, occupational therapists, physical therapist assistants with a bachelor's degree, Certified Occupational Therapist Assistants with a bachelor's degree, and Speech-Language Pathologists to take graduate-level courses to develop the specialty skills of a master clinician in prevention and management of oncology related functional limitations of the musculoskeletal, fascial, neurological, endocrine, integumentary, metabolic, cardiovascular and pulmonary systems.
