A FOCUS ON PROFESSIONALISM

In June 2019, CAPR and the Canadian Council of Physiotherapy University Programs (CCPUP) hosted a workshop to explore issues related to professionalism among physiotherapists through the lens of both regulators and educators.

The workshop was led by Sue Murphy of the University of British Columbia, Susan Paul of the College of Physical Therapists of British Columbia and Kathleen Norman of Queen’s University, and attended by 11 regulatory staff from 10 provincial/territorial jurisdictions and 45 educators representing all 15 Canadian physiotherapy education programs.

The result was a commitment to work together towards a national vision for professionalism and a common vocabulary to facilitate data collection and ongoing education.
