This third generation competency profile is a foundational document which describes the essential competencies (i.e., the knowledge, skills and attitudes) required by physiotherapists in Canada at the beginning of and throughout their career. It also provides guidance for physiotherapists to build on their competencies over time.

The Profile reflects the diversity of physiotherapy practice and helps support evolution of the profession in relation to the changing nature of practice environments and advances in evidence-informed practice.

The document will be of value to a wide variety of stakeholders; however, it is primarily developed for the profession and to provide the public with information about the role and competencies of physiotherapists in Canada.
