@PTCollegeBC: Twitter is a public forum and you’ve chosen to use it to announce this invitation so hopefully you’ll agree to start the discussion by answering some of these questions (see thread)
‼️Breaking News‼️
Saskatchewan will be moving towards a practice based assessment to fully license it’s Residents. More details to come regarding timelines and context within the next month.
“the CAPR team started work on a back-up exam delivery model. Having a back-up plan in place will allow us to provide as much certainty as possible that the assessment process will go forward, no matter what.” (May 31, 2021) #accountability#timeforchange#PTtogether
@cautiousoptamst @thecdnphysio The colleges that govern the profession have repeatedly defended the exam as a means to protect the public throughout these exam cancellations. To your other point, there is no other country that requires this clinical component entry exam for Physio.
@cautiousoptamst @thecdnphysio And what’s that reason? Some residents have worked for almost two years under a temporary license with no safety complaints. If the reason behind this exam is to protect the public why would they keep extending these ‘dangerous’ resident’s licenses for the past year ?
The first step in conflict resolution ➡️ DO NOT ‘assume’ or ‘speak for the other side.
This comment is totally paternalistic, unprofessional and unacceptable.
All sides need to be working together to sort this out. All sides need a voice and ownership in the resolution.
@coachnickg@ShoulderGeek1@ShoulderDocUK@hdpnglobal@TPMPodcast S+C is NOT covered well and worse than that, when students go on placement they’re expected to know what exercises and volume to prescribe patients. If they don’t already have a background in it they tend to just absorb the same methods as their educators (1 x10 ankle pumps..)
@PhysioCan As a profession we need to rally together and take a stand for our new grad and internationally trained colleagues. There is already more than enough stress and fear from the pandemic. Adding this additional layer is not acceptable or fair for the future of our profession!
