Speakers: Jody Prohar and Leanne Loranger

 

On this episode of College Conversations, Jody and Leanne take stock of the year that was and discuss what’s coming our way in 2025.

 

Looking back at 2024, two major themes immediately come to mind. One is the ongoing work to address sexual abuse and sexual misconduct in physiotherapy practice. The other is the work to implement the 2025 Standards of Practice.

 

Listen in to hear a recap of the College’s work to address sexual abuse and sexual misconduct trends. You will also hear about a new resource that will be available in January 2025 to support physiotherapists’ understanding of professional requirements related to sexual abuse and sexual misconduct.

 

In the second half of the podcast, you’ll hear all about the implementation of the 2025 standards of practice and the upcoming release of the 2025 jurisprudence module.

 

Listen in to be among the first to hear about the 2025 College-Selected Activity and other practice permit renewal requirements!
