Developing a National Consensus of the Physiotherapy Entry-Level Business and Practice Management Core Curriculum Competencies: A Delphi Study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Physiotherapists need to develop strong business acumen to make informed decisions, drive positive outcomes, and thrive in their practice. Competencies in these areas are partially reflected in the Competency Profile for Physiotherapists in Canada; however, there is little consistency in how these are applied across academic institutions. The purpose of this study was to develop a set of foundational entry-to-practice (ETP) competencies related to business and practice management (BPM) that can prepare physiotherapy students for work in all Canadian health care service sectors upon graduation.

Method

We undertook a modified Delphi study. An online call for participants was circulated via the Canadian Physiotherapy Association's Private Practice and Leadership
