In 2019, NorQuest College’s Physical Therapy Assistant Diploma program evolved into the new Interdisciplinary Therapy Assistant (ITA) program. Driven by expressed needs of industry stakeholders to provide integrated, client-centred, and cost-effective care, the ITA program uniquely prepares graduates to assist with physical, occupational, recreational, and speech-language therapy. In 2021, the program was recognized with a six-year accreditation award, demonstrating the high-quality effectiveness of both engaging on-campus and highly interactive online delivery. The program’s strength is in its dedicated team, as well as exceptional partnerships with interdisciplinary stakeholders across the province.
