Session Description:
This research study looked at the practice locations of seven cohorts of MPT graduates to examine the effect of nature variables (e.g. demographic characteristics, education and geographic background and practice interest), and nurture variables (e.g. clinical placement location and type) that best predicted who chose rural, northern or public practice after graduation from the UBC MPT program.

Session Description: 
The past two years have seen a plethora of social movements taking shape around the world: Climate Change, BLM and Anti-Racism Solidarity Protests, Old-Growth Logging Blockades, Rail Blockades, COVID19 Lockdown/Vaccination Mandate Protests, and more. The Physiotherapy profession is no stranger to advocacy, with initiatives such as Training Seats Expansion, the PCE, and ICBC Enhanced Care/Vendor Reconciliation taking center stage at PABC in 2021-2022.

Session Description:
COVID-19 required a rapid expansion of telehealth service delivery for patients to continue their recoveries. This study examined physiotherapy-based rehabilitation outcomes for various delivery approaches: in-person, via telehealth or a hybrid of these two delivery approaches for patients with the main referral diagnosis of musculoskeletal, concussion and chronic pain conditions.

Session Description:
Physiotherapists strive to have better objective outcomes every year. Technology is playing an increasingly popular role in assisting kinesiologists’ and physiotherapists’ measurement and understanding of movement patterns, force generation, and muscular activity. This presentation will provide orthopaedic case studies of the integrated use of force plates (Hawkin Dynamics), a wireless EMG system (Delsys Trigno), wireless insoles (Moticon) and a 3-dimensional motion capture system (Noraxon), and a muscle oximetry device (MOXY).

Session Description:
There is currently a lack of physiotherapy initiatives to promote physical activity on a community level. As physiotherapists and health care providers, part of our responsibility is to promote health and empower our clients and communities to become more physically active.

This presentation will provide an overview of GOAP and some guidelines of how physiotherapists can create similar initiatives to promote healthier and more physically active communities.
