    Area of Science:

    • Physiotherapy
    • Medical Education
    • Professional Development

    Background:

    • Mandatory continuing professional education (MCPE) is advocated to maintain clinical competence and prevent obsolescence.
    • Opponents argue MCPE conflicts with adult learning principles.
    • Current research shows positive attitudes but lacks quantitative data on performance and patient care enhancement.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To examine the relationship between continuing education and clinical competence in physiotherapy.
    • To address the lack of quantitative research in this area.

    Main Methods:

    • The study critically reviews existing literature on continuing professional education in physiotherapy.
    • Focuses on the need for quantitative research to assess impact on practice.

    Main Results:

    • There is insufficient quantitative evidence demonstrating that continuing education enhances practitioner performance or improves patient care.
    • Australia currently has no MCPE requirements for general physiotherapy practice.

    Conclusions:

    • Further research is urgently required to establish the link between continuing education and clinical competence in physiotherapy.
    • The physiotherapy profession should prioritize research into the effectiveness of continuing education.
