Improve people's quality of life following cancer treatment with the the Graduate Certificate in Oncology Rehabilitation (GCOR). This certificate, offered through the Department of Human Movement Science, is designed to provide advanced theoretical and psychomotor training for rehabilitation clinicians 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, Speech-Language Pathologists, and persons with a master's degree in exercise science 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.
All courses are presented online. Rehabilitation clinicians may apply the 17 GCOR credits towards completion of the Oakland University Ph.D in Human Movement Science. Detailed information regarding GCOR course requirements may be found in the Graduate Catalog (see Curricular Requirements).
