PhD Rehabilitation and Participation Science at Washington University in St. Louis

The Rehabilitation and Participation Science (RAPS) PhD program aims to develop rehabilitation scientists whose research questions are chosen based explicitly on their potential to generate rehabilitation knowledge that will enhance health, reduce illness and disability and optimize participation and quality of life. In our doctoral training model, students devote the majority of their time to mentored research activities beginning in their first semester, and then they become increasingly independent.
