Policy statement: Education

Education is the process through which learning takes place and the learner changes practice as a result. The goal of physiotherapist education is to facilitate the continuing intellectual, professional, and personal development of students and qualified physiotherapists. Physiotherapists apply their learning continuously and use it to develop and improve their professional practice through a process of reflection, as they evolve from student to novice and to experienced/expert practitioner. Learning can be effectively facilitated in a number of ways, including formal teaching, self-directed learning, practice-based learning, technology-based, collaborative learning, and learning from and through experience.

To support implementation, you can access all World Physiotherapy education resources here.
