MRSc Grad Jennifer Stephenson Makes Learning a Family Affair

Jennifer Stephenson who graduated from the UBC Master of Rehabilitation Science in 2010 was not alone in her studies. Turns out her husband was studying for his PhD and both her daughter and son were completing their undergraduate degrees. On June 7, 2012 Jennifer’s husband Paul and her son Brian graduated from UBC. Her daughter Sarah graduated in 2009. Brian and Sarah are continuing their education at UBC, following their parents’ lead. For the full story, read UBC’s media release.

Jennifer herself has stayed active in the MRSc program by recently offering a webinar based on her major project research: Successful Intraprofessional Relationships between Therapists and Therapist Assistants. The archive, along with others, is available for listening on the MRSc Research Relay Webinars page.

Congratulations to Jennifer and her family!

UBC Research Relay Webinars Begin Next Week

RESEARCH RELAYS for rehabilitation practice

Relay – either as a noun or a verb may involve passing information from one person to another — one practice to another — one location to another — often with a goal or destination in mind. Also associated with ensuring good connections and speed. All of these we hope to accomplish with this new webinar series brought to you by the UBC Rehabilitation Science Online Programs.

Please join us for one or all of these FREE webinars where graduates from the Master of Rehabilitation Science Program present their major project research. By relaying their results and any further work they have done in the area, we invite you to pick up the ‘virtual baton’ and discuss how it could influence your practice and work setting. Make new practice connections in just one hour!
