Abstract:
Purpose: To identify the availability and content of continuing education available for Canadian physiotherapists on work-focused care and work-related factors. Method: An environmental scan was conducted to identify the availability and the content of continuing education on work-focused care and work-related factors. Information was collected through an online search. Data from the continuing education courses retrieved from the search were analyzed using quantitative descriptive methods and qualitative content analysis. Results: Twelve continuing education courses were retrieved. These courses mainly discuss work-related elements from the clinical encounter, the workplace, and the return-to-work process. Conclusions: Limited continuing education on work-focused care and work-related factors is available to Canadian physiotherapists.
