The Future of Physiotherapy

We sat down with Tanja Yardley & Allan Macdonald for another Embodia Expert Series webinar. We discussed the Future of Physiotherapy including the impact of technology, the value of building your business skills & how to be involved as a leader in our profession.

As physiotherapists, we spend years learning how to treat the human body and focus a lot of energy, effort and time on our clinical skills. However, there are many other skills that we can develop to contribute to our professional growth individually and as a collective group.

Topics of Discussion:

  • How is the healthcare system changing and where is it going in the next 10-15 years.
  • Impact of technology on the profession
  • New ways to create value for our patients and our profession
  • Value of being a member of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association

  

 Shownotes:

  • Telehealth and Current Technologies [00:15]
  • How to incorporate Telehealth into your practice? [5:20]
