Integrating Internationally Educated Physiotherapists Project

In December 2005, the Canadian Alliance of Physiotherapy Regulators (The Alliance) was awarded funding by the Government of Canada's Foreign Credential Recognition Program to conduct an analysis of the current physiotherapy workforce, focusing on issues affecting the integration of internationally trained physiotherapists.

This initiative, called Integrating Internationally Educated Physiotherapists (IIEP) was divided into two phases. The first was a research component aimed at describing the Canadian physiotherapy workforce and identifying the barriers preventing internationally educated professions from successfully integrating into the Canadian health care system. The second phase involved recommending modifications to the existing system and/or the development of new initiatives that help to remove or minimize the effects of these barriers. The project was completed in March 2007. Initial findings and recommendations on how to better integrate Internationally Educated Physiotherapists are now published in a diagnostic report available on our website.
