Massage as a Second Career (MASC)
This Continuing Education Course is designed for current Health
Care professionals and/or those with degrees in the Health or
Physical Science who are considering pursuing a second or
complementary career in the field of Massage Therapy. Building
upon the participant’s core scientific knowledge, this course
covers the fundamental skills and tools that will enable students
to understand the interactive and dynamic process used in the
assessment, evaluation and treatment of MT clients. This course
consist of lectures and practical demonstrations in which
students are required to actively participate. Following
completion of the course, students will not only have added to
their existing skill set but will be in position to knowledgeably
assess Massage Therapy as a second career option.
Upon successful completion of the course, students may apply for
Advanced Standing for the entire first year of the Massage
Therapy Program, allowing them (if sufficient Transfer Credits are
approved) to transfer directly into the final year of the Program.
Upon completion of the Program, graduates are eligible for
registration examinations with the College of Massage Therapists
of Ontario (CMTO) or College of Massage Therapists of New
Brunswick (CMTNB).
