Those seeking licensing information should not have to learn about major news via social media.
The new pathways should be clearly listed on each of the prov college websites.
@PhysioCan & prov branches will you help us in advocating for clear communication by the colleges?
The Physiotherapy Colleges who still list the CAPR clinical as a requirement need to update their websites ASAP. It is causing massive confusion to those who may be moving to 🇨🇦. See ⬇️ for an example: 1/3
