Continuing education

As the title suggests, education of the physiotherapist should be a continuing process which starts in undergraduate days and continues throughout the whole of the person's professional life. In the past there has been little co-ordination between these two stages of education and many of the advances to be seen in undergraduate education have not flowed through to the postgraduate sphere. Yet the continuing education of the physiotherapist is of great importance to the patient and the community, to the physiotherapist herself and to the profession as a whole.
