The Physiotherapist Assistant Diploma program has been designed to provide students with a strong foundation to work under the supervision of a Physiotherapist.
Current trends in Healthcare restructuring have resulted in shorter hospital stays and more outpatient rehabilitation. Some tasks formerly performed by Physiotherapists are now being delegated to Assistants in an effort to further reduce costs.
The demand for Physiotherapist Assistants is expected to increase over the next few years.
Inclusive of an 11-week clinical placement period, the program provides well-rounded combination of theory instruction and practical training of which the student can continually develop and apply their knowledge to skilled tasks and proper assessment procedures.
