Wellington College of Remedial Massage Therapies, Inc.
435 Berry Street R3J 1N6 Winnipeg, MB, Canada

Currently we only have one intake per year. The Distance Ed program starts the second weekend in July and the Full Time program starts the third Monday in August. If you’d like to get started right away, you are able to start with the Medical Terminology course which is completely self-directed. You are able to complete this course on your own before school even starts!

The only differences between the Full Time and Distance Ed programs are the length of time it takes to complete them and how they are delivered. The Full Time program takes two years to complete and has more contact hours with the instructor. The Distance Ed program takes three years to complete and is more self-directed.... While the Basic year is completed in the first year in both programs, the Advanced year is split over two years in Distance Ed, thus making the DE program three years instead of two, like in the Full Time program.

Have you listened to the latest episode of the podcast? Click the link to learn about Accreditation and why it's important to all members of the massage therapy sector. https://open.spotify.com/show/0q6Tbxum4YvRQrnWe3skH4

Massage Therapy Regulation in Manitoba would mean that any massage therapist would fall under the governance of the Regulated Health Professions Act that came into effect in 2014. At the moment anyone can set up shop in Manitoba, call themselves a massage therapist and offer treatment to the public. Regulation would protect the public by holding massage therapists accountable through a consistent standard.

Our Student Clinic will unfortunately remain closed for the month of February. Once we have a set date for re-opening, we will make sure to keep everyone up to date. Trust us, we miss all your faces and can't wait to have you back! In the meantime, please stay healthy and safe.

Call to Action!! A letter from Beth Beaupre, Provincial Lead, Health Workforce, and the Provincial Recruitment and Redeployment Team ... Dear Student/Graduate/Nurse/Health Care Worker, Did you know there are multiple paid opportunities for health care workers interested in joining Manitoba’s fight against COVID-19? Now, more than ever, the compassionate and caring support of Manitobans who have trained for a career in health care is needed. Personal protective equipment, training, and support are available and every precaution is being taken to ensure the safety of all health care workers. So if you are looking for a way to support our community’s response to the pandemic, please visit https://sharedhealthmb.ca/covid19/providers/jobs/ for a list of current opportunities. We are in the midst of unprecedented, challenging times. It’s important to remember what motivated us to choose a career in health care. Each of us chose a career in caring to help and to make a difference. Years from now, when 2020 is a distant memory and we look back on this pandemic, I want each of us to be able to reflect on the efforts we made together to ensure the best possible care for those who needed us the most. -Lanette Siragusa, Provincial lead, health system integration, quality/chief nursing officer, Shared Health view Lanette’s in person request here: https://vimeo.com/469098621/5a8e668655
