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.

Programs
Master's Level
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:
o a resumé or curriculum vitae (CV)
o a personal statement explaining how their program of
study and specific research interests relate to
resuscitation science
o 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:
o take the core course MSC 4001H Foundations in
Resuscitation Science Research
Resuscitation Sciences

o 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
o present their research at least once at either the CPRS
Resuscitation in Motion scientific meeting or in the
Foundations MSC 4001H core course
