Reviews of College Of Physiotherapists of Ontario (College)

Disappointing and disheartening.

As a member, I appreciate part of their need to protect the public. Part of their mandate against any form of review from clients (testimonials) seems to contradict their mandate. Their claim is that all therapists are equal. I have used reviews for movers, restaurants, movies, products, doctors, and trades. Somehow, physios are different. To make it more of a farce, if a company does not change their advertising criteria to comply, and the owner is not a physiotherapist, the employee will be prosecuted (either lose your job or face disciplinary action). Petty.

I wish I could have rate them in negative ???? They are miserable people who are slow like snails It's been more then 3 weeks after applying for license still they did not issue me my license

Horrible governing body. They do not care about their members. During a time of a pandemic they do not know how to mandate a suspension of all care just like all other professions. They do not care about their members. Do not bother reaching out them. They give you political answers. Very disappointed in this governing body. We have a social responsibility to flatten the curve. I guess this college does not know what that means.

The CPO is unable to license over a thousand physiotherapists, WHY?? It's been 2 years. Chiro,s RMTs, Nurses, MDs, they have all managed to problem solve during this pandemic, yet we are the ONLY profession who has been unable to come up with a viable solution. Even though a viable solution was offered by the 5 Universities across Ontario to have a residency program to immediately license the PTs, they have simply refused.

Is there any evidence that the practical exam actually has any benefit for public safety? Because it seems that the only province not mandating it has a 3x decreased rate of physio incidents per physio population compared to Ontario. No other developed country has this type of exam for their physiotherapists and yet they continuously produce highly competent and safe physiotherapists - Where is the evidence that the Canadian practical exam, aside from bringing in nearly $5,000,000 in revenue for those running it, actually provides benefit for the public?

"We are responsible for public safety," as they allow hundreds of thousands of people to suffer while they delay the licensing of qualified physiotherapists. Advocating for a completely useless exam, unique to every other health care profession, all while claiming it is in the best interests of the people, is disingenuous, pathetic and clearly just incompetent governance. Truely, unapologetically disgraceful what you have put these candidates through with no assistance.
