  • Learn what your obligations are when it comes to situations where you can and should discontinue patient care.

  • Become familiar with the Ontario Human Rights Code and how it impacts your patient interaction.

  • Don't forget accessibility (something near and dear to PTs' hearts). Be compliant with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act.

  • And last, but not least, know your obligations to provide care during a public emergency. Click below to find out.

Ever Wish You had Access to a Mobile-Friendly, Online Library of Clinical Information?

Well, Now You Do! And it's Free.

Thanks to The Allied Health Professional Development Fund, physiotherapists can access an Electronic Health Library that provides access to the most recent health care literature to help determine the best approach to evidence-based practice.
    
The library includes access to:

  • MEDLINE® with full text
  • CINAHL® Complete, containing over 2,800 full text medical journals
  • DynaMed Plus®, an evidence-based clinical reference tool that provides quick answers to clinical questions at the point-of-care.
