  • Physiotherapists & Kinesiologists Education & Scope Comparison

August 8, 2023

The Ministry of Health’s Health Force Ontario recommended that providing clarity on roles and responsibilities, including scopes of practice and competencies, is important to building a strong foundation for interprofessional care.

OPA has developed a resource to help with that clarity for physiotherapists and kinesiologists. The resource aims to increase understanding of these two regulated professions in the physical rehabilitation sector in Ontario, with key differences in scope of practice, core educational requirements and complexity of conditions they assess, treat and manage.

We extend thanks to those who reviewed the document and provided input including physiotherapy academic leaders, the College of Physiotherapists of Ontario, the Canadian Physiotherapy Association and the Ontario Kinesiology Association.
