Shamese Barakat

Shamese Barakat, occupational therapist, graduated from McGill university in 2006. She has practised in the private sector ever since, gaining experience in the treatment of a wide array of musculoskeletal conditions with the CNESST, SAAQ and private clientele. She demonstrates a particular interest in treatment of certain hand conditions and offers splint fabrication services when required. In addition, she offers ergonomic presentations to companies as well as performs one-on-one ergonomic evaluations at home and in the workplace. In 2011, Shamese completed an intensive functional capacity evaluation training, allowing her to put into place a comprehensive rehabilitation program (programme de développement des capacités) within 2 clinics, coordinating interdisciplinary teams to promote recovery, function and ultimately achieve return to work goals with the CNESST, SAAQ and private clientele. Shamese completed a master's level program at McGill University, in 2018, obtaining a graduate certificate in driving rehabilitation. This area of occupational therapy has quickly become a passion of hers.
