Transitioning to Practice in Ontario: Learning Modules

Transition to Practice in Ontario: Learning Modules

The College of Physiotherapists of Ontario has partnered with Zubin Austin, a professor of Health Services Research at the University of Toronto and researcher focused on the continuing professional development and education of health care professionals for a series of learning modules focused on transitioning to practice as a physiotherapist in Ontario.

This series includes six video modules that cover a variety of topics including boundaries, consent, business practices and communication. Each module includes a quiz to help learners reflect on the key points, and additional resources to support ongoing learning.

These learning modules are ideal for:

• Internationally educated physiotherapists who are starting their careers in Ontario
• Physiotherapy students who are getting ready to practice
• PT Residents currently completing their supervised practice period
• Experienced physiotherapists who have been away from the profession for a period of time
• PTs who are looking to refresh or enhance their knowledge of key skills

Each module should take approximately 45 minutes to an hour to complete — this includes time to complete the quiz. Each module is separate and can be completed at your convenience.
