Area of Science:

  • Health Professions Education
  • Admissions Processes
  • Diversity and Inclusion Initiatives

Background:

  • Physiotherapy programs face challenges in admitting diverse student populations.
  • Historical barriers exist for Black applicants in health professions.
  • Need for innovative admissions strategies to enhance diversity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To detail the creation, implementation, and assessment of a facilitated Black admissions program (FBAP).
  • To evaluate the FBAP's impact on admissions within a Canadian physiotherapy program.
  • To compare the experiences of FBAP applicants with the conventional admissions stream.

Main Methods:

  • Development and application process of the FBAP in a Master of Science Physiotherapy (MSc(PT)) program.
  • Comparative analysis of applicant characteristics and outcomes between FBAP and conventional streams.
  • Statistical comparison of interview scores and interrater reliability using intraclass correlation coefficients.

Main Results:

  • FBAP applicants achieved significantly higher mean scores compared to the conventional stream (p=0.018).
  • No significant difference was found in the correlation between sub-GPA and interview scores for both streams.
  • Interrater reliability was comparable between the FBAP (ICC: 0.76) and conventional (ICC: 0.82) streams.

Conclusions:

  • McMaster University successfully launched its inaugural FBAP in 2023, enhancing Black applicant representation.
  • The FBAP addresses the program's vision to increase diversity and reduce admission barriers for Black students.
  • This initiative marks a significant step towards equitable admissions in physiotherapy education.
