Reviews of Physiotherapy Association of British Columbia (Physiotherapist)

Alycia Sinclair

PABC website was super user friendly! So easy to search a PT close by or by speciality. I recommend it to all my friends and colleagues!! PABC helped us find our stellar PT for our daughter. Her reoccurring leg pains are now gone and she can excel at martial arts again.

I went to see Naz for physiotherapy. She did IMS on my shoulder and my shoulder pain got better in only 2 sessions. She is very understanding and I recommend her to all my friends.

The most recent letter sent by PABC to CAPR, 2021-03-30, regarding the cancellation of the clinical exam (PCE) is yet another example of leadership that engages in blaming rather than one of assuming full accountability by the profession. Had it not been for the most recent crisis that occurred, this inappropriate approach to assessing the candidate's "competency" (PCE) would have never been considered an issue because prior to this fiasco, the CPA and PABC had together endorsed the PCE, aligning with regulators and CAPR. Not until now, since PT candidates have been screaming at the injustice they are feeling, has it created sufficient bad press and embarrassment to the Canadian Physiotherapy profession to suddenly cause you folks to wake up and assign blame, this time aimed at CAPR. Yet this money-grab has been imposed on candidates as a sanctioned means of assessment fully supported by the Association ever since the PCE's introduction in the late 1990s. But where was the Association prior to Mar. 20, 21/2021? Seriously? Why do you think this profession has the highest attrition rate of any healthcare profession in Canada? It has been two weeks now with no solution or any real news following the PCE cancellation. Candidates, domestic and international, CPA members or not, are being held hostage by a situation completely beyond their control, while our healthcare system, already stressed, struggles unnecessarily short-staffed as a direct result of this mess. It is beyond unacceptable for a regulated health care profession in Canada to behave like this. Students and now candidates have been a revenue stream for too long and the shake-down for money has to end. Enough! The Canadian PT profession needs to drag itself into 2021 and learn to take full responsibility for the PCE disaster and how it has mis-managed its affairs in general leading up to this point. This is a crisis of leadership. If the Canadian PT profession has a hope of surviving, it must develop an expanded leadership approach beyond advocating with white-privilieged, members-only interests in mind and begin to consider the long term consequences of protectionism and how its decisions have outpriced it.

Employees turn over are to the roof since Mrs. Bradstock started with PABC. What is happening there?
