Advanced musculoskeletal physiotherapy clinical education framework supporting an emerging new workforce*

Abstract

As the prevalence of musculoskeletal conditions increases, a new workforce of advanced musculoskeletal physiotherapists is emerging. A clinical education framework has been developed to address the specific needs of the population, organisations and experienced musculoskeletal physiotherapists recruited to these roles. A competent workforce has direct benefits for the community, healthcare organisations and the physiotherapy profession.
