Professionalism and Professional Standards for Physiotherapists is a CPD course designed for physiotherapists practising in Canada who want to strengthen professional conduct, accountability, and safe clinical practice. It is particularly relevant for practitioners facing complaints, investigations, or regulatory concerns, but is equally valuable for those seeking to maintain high professional standards in everyday physiotherapy care.

The course explores the core attributes of professionalism, including integrity, communication, accountability, boundaries, documentation, and patient-centred care. Participants will align their practice with expectations set by provincial Colleges of Physiotherapists across Canada, with a focus on real-world risks such as poor communication, inadequate documentation, boundary concerns, and failure to maintain competence. The course also addresses professional behaviour during complaints, investigations, and professional conduct processes.

Through case-based learning, reflective tools, and practical strategies, participants will develop the skills to demonstrate professionalism in challenging situations, respond appropriately to concerns, and evidence insight, reflection, and remediation. Cultural safety, including Indigenous health and equity considerations, is integrated throughout to ensure practice is respectful, inclusive, and aligned with Canadian healthcare expectations.
