I am pleased to share some excellent news from the Faculty of Health Sciences and Wellness. On May 16, 2019 Associate Dean Amanda Baskwill successfully defended her doctoral work at McMaster University, and earned the Ph.D credential. Dr. Baskwill conducted research which examined the construct of Professional Identity of Massage Therapists in Ontario. Under the guidance of Dr. Kelly Dore, Amanda completed a dissertation titled It’s Complicated: An Exploratory Mixed Methods Study of the Professional Identity of Massage Therapists in Ontario.
Please join me in offering congratulations on this milestone achievement.

I am pleased to let you know about two recent accreditations within the Faculty of Health Sciences and Wellness.
I am proud to announce that the Massage Therapy Advanced Diploma Program recently received full accreditation status until 2024. These fantastic results are attributed to the hard work, dedication, and commitment to excellence, of the professors, staff, and administration involved in the program, and I offer my sincere thanks for a job well done. Below is a direct quote from the accreditation review document.
On behalf of the board and staff at the Canadian Massage Therapy Council for Accreditation, we are very pleased to inform you that the Massage Therapy Program at Humber College has been awarded five-year accreditation. We extend our sincere congratulations on this stellar achievement and on your participation in the CMTCA accreditation process. The implementation of this process across Canada marked an important and historic milestone in the massage therapy field and we commend you for being part of it.
I want to acknowledge the hard work and dedication of the entire Massage Therapy faculty and support staff, Faculty of Liberal Arts & Sciences and Innovative Learning, Program Planning Development and Renewal, and the administration team for their tireless commitment to ensuring our accreditation submissions, site visits, and ongoing dialogues throughout this process were demonstrative of excellence, and comprehensively descriptive of all that we do here at Humber.
I am also proud to announce that our Advanced Care Paramedic (ACP) – Ontario Graduate Certificate has been awarded a five-year accreditation term (the highest achievement possible). The accreditation team commended the program, the facilities, and the faculty and staff on this achievement.
Of particular importance, the reviewers noted the program has a 100 per cent success rate on the licensure examinations, year over year, and these exemplary results differentiate our program across the country.
I want to acknowledge the hard work and dedication of the entire ACP professor, program advisor, and support staff group, Program Planning Development and Renewal, and our faculty administration team for their commitment to ensuring our program is demonstrative of excellence. It is clear the entire team worked tirelessly to ensure these excellent results, and we can all be proud.
I am so proud to be part of this amazing Faculty and the excellent work that is demonstrated each and every day – you are ALL to be commended here!!
Please join me in offering congratulations on these excellent results, and celebrating this important accomplishment.

Humber Research Ethics Board (HREB)
Are your students doing research involving human participants? Read more…
Research Ethics Approval for Course-based Research Involving Human Participants
Course-based research occurs in courses that have a minimal-risk class project or activity that is designed to develop research skills. The projects or activities may require students to collect data from human participants, conduct interviews, distribute a survey, or analyze research data. These courses are designed to teach students about research methodologies, processes, techniques, and standard research practice.
Although results of the research may not be published, there exists a risk to participants, therefore, Humber Research Ethics Board approval is required. At Humber College, the HREB requires that instructors submit a course-designation application for course-based research activities.
A course designation means instructors act on behalf of the HREB in ensuring their students are following research ethics guidelines as outlined in the TCPS2 and in Humber’s ethical guidelines on researching involving human participants. While instructors take responsibility for student research, they must also educate their students on specific aspects of research, notably, recruitment strategies, informed consent, voluntary participation and the right to withdraw, confidentiality and protection of personal data, and data storage.
The HREB does not accept REB applications from undergraduate students.
Course-designation Review Process
Quick Links
REB Course Designation Application Form: for courses that have never held course-designation approval, or have an expired course-designation approval.
REB Course Designation Amendment Request Form: for courses that have an existing course-designation approval but need to make minor revisions, such as changes to participant recruitment process, research instruments used).
REB Course Designation Continuation Request Form: for courses that have course-designation approval expiring, this request for continuation should be submitted a minimum of 30 days prior to approval expiration.
