Abstract

Purpose: Canadian physiotherapists who participated in the Physio Moves Canada (PMC) project of 2017 identified the current state of training programmes as a threat facing professional growth of the discipline in Canada. One purpose of this project was to identify key priority areas for physiotherapist training programmes as identified by academics and clinicians across Canada. Method: The PMC project included a series of interviews and focus groups conducted across clinical sites in every Canadian province and in the Yukon Territory. Data were interpreted using descriptive thematic analysis; identified sub-themes were returned to participants for reflection. Results: Overall, 116 physiotherapists and 1 physiotherapy assistant participated in 10 focus groups and 26 semi-structured interviews. Participants identified critical appraisal of continuing professional development options, knowledge translation, cultural fluency, professionalism, pharmaceutical knowledge, and clinical reasoning as priorities. For clinical practice specifically, participants identified practical knowledge, scope of practice, exercise prescription, health promotion, care of complex patients, and digital technologies as the priorities. Conclusion: Training priorities identified by participants may be useful to physiotherapy educators in preparing graduates to be adaptable and flexible primary health care providers for the future needs of a diverse population.

泛加拿大视角下的物理治疗师教育和培训重点。第一部分：临床实践基础：临床实践基础。

目的：参与 2017 年 "加拿大物理移动"（PMC）项目的加拿大物理治疗师认为，培训计划的现状是加拿大该学科专业发展面临的威胁。该项目的目的之一是确定加拿大各地学术界和临床医生所确定的理疗师培训计划的关键优先领域。方法：PMC 项目包括在加拿大各省和育空地区的临床基地开展的一系列访谈和焦点小组活动。采用描述性主题分析法对数据进行解释；确定的次主题将返回给参与者进行思考。结果：共有 116 名物理治疗师和 1 名物理治疗助理参加了 10 个焦点小组和 26 个半结构式访谈。参与者认为，专业持续发展选择的批判性评估、知识转化、文化流畅性、专业性、药物知识和临床推理是优先考虑的问题。具体到临床实践，参与者认为实用知识、实践范围、运动处方、健康促进、复杂病人护理和数字技术是重点。结论学员们提出的培训重点可能有助于物理治疗教育工作者培养毕业生成为适应性强、灵活多变的初级医疗服务提供者，以满足未来多样化人群的需求。

期刊介绍： Physiotherapy Canada is the official, scholarly, refereed journal of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association (CPA), giving direction to excellence in clinical science and reasoning, knowledge translation, therapeutic skills and patient-centred care. Founded in 1923, Physiotherapy Canada meets the diverse needs of national and international readers and serves as a key repository of inquiries, evidence and advances in the practice of physiotherapy. Physiotherapy Canada publishes the results of qualitative and quantitative research including systematic reviews, meta analyses, meta syntheses, public/health policy research, clinical practice guidelines, and case reports. Key messages, clinical commentaries, brief reports and book reviews support knowledge translation to clinical practice. In addition to delivering authoritative, original scientific articles and reports of significant clinical studies, Physiotherapy Canada’s editorials and abstracts are presented in both English and French, expanding the journal’s reach nationally and internationally. Key messages form an integral part of each research article, providing a succinct summary for readers of all levels. This approach also allows readers to quickly get a feel for ‘what is already known’ and ‘what this study adds to’ the subject. Clinician’s commentaries for key articles assist in bridging research and practice by discussing the article’s impact at the clinical level. The journal also features special themed series which bring readers up to date research supporting evidence-informed practice. The Canadian Physiotherapy Association (CPA) is the national professional association representing almost 15,000 members distributed throughout all provinces and territories. CPA’s mission is to provide leadership and direction to the physiotherapy profession, foster excellence in practice, education and research, and promote high standards of health in Canada.
