Graduate Certificate in Oncology Rehabilitation

Oakland University is the only institution in the nation to offer a graduate oncology rehabilitation program. Developed by our widely acclaimed School of Health Sciences, the program upholds Oakland’s reputation for forward-thinking, innovative healthcare education.

Key benefits of the oncology rehabilitation certificate program include:

• Comprehensive expertise. You’ll develop the skills of a master clinician, learning evidence-based oncology rehabilitation techniques that you can use immediately in your practice. The program covers all types of cancers, including upper-quarter cancers (such as breast and lung), lower-quarter (such as ovarian, prostate, and uterine), blood cancers, and cancers of the head, neck, and central nervous system.
• Practical, hands-on training. Our oncology rehabilitation certificate emphasizes real-world experience and individual case studies. The program includes one-on-one interaction with cancer patients, where you’ll develop and implement rehab programs from initial intake and evaluation through goal setting and treatment. 
• Highly qualified faculty. You’ll learn from recognized experts with national reputations. Our oncology rehabilitation courses are developed and taught by active researchers and practitioners who are at the forefront of oncology rehabilitation.
• Professional credentials. If you’re a physical therapist, the graduate certificate in oncology rehabilitation qualifies you for the Oncology Specialization Exam. Practitioners in other disciplines acquire marketable expertise that can qualify you for a new job, a promotion with your current employer, higher pay, and other benefits.
• Flexibility and convenience. Our fully online oncology rehabilitation program is designed for working professionals. You’ll do most coursework where and when it’s convenient for you, with a small number of synchronous class meetings per semester.
