Becoming a Physiotherapist
Physiotherapists must complete a university degree in an accredited physiotherapy program All graduating physiotherapists must pass a national exam to enter professional practice. Physiotherapists are committed to life long learning and learn and grow their skills through continuing education programming post-graduation.
As part of their education, registered physiotherapists have completed courses in areas such as anatomy, physiology, pathology and biomechanics.
PT programs balance the opportunity for classroom and hands-on learning by offering lectures, labs, small group work and clinical placements.
