Description:

An interactive, case-based course helping physiotherapists organize clinical reasoning, develop working hypotheses, and build confidence in everyday decisions.

This course introduces foundational principles that underpin effective clinical reasoning in musculoskeletal physiotherapy, with a focus on applicability across patient presentations, practice settings, and experience levels.

Participants engage in an 8-week, structured online learning experience that integrates weekly self-paced modules with embedded 1:1 and group mentorship, live discussion, and applied case-based learning.

Key components include:

Clinical reasoning as a core professional skill 

Understanding clinical reasoning as the foundation of effective and individualized care, intentionally developed and refined over time.

Organizing clinical thinking

A structured framework to support working hypothesis generation, prioritization of clinical information, and decision-making throughout assessment and treatment.

Asking better clinical questions

How purposeful questioning guides examination choices, supports differential reasoning, and informs treatment planning.

Cognitive bias and uncertainty in practice

Identifying common sources of bias and developing strategies to manage uncertainty and complexity in real-world clinical scenarios.

Integrating evidence and context

Applying research evidence alongside patient values, goals, and contextual factors without compromising clinical efficiency.

Case-based application through mentorship

Structured group mentorship sessions and individual 1:1 mentorship provide opportunities for collaborative case discussion, peer learning, and direct application of course concepts to real clinical scenarios.

Summary

The course emphasizes reflection, discussion, and practical application, supported by weekly modules, full-text literature access, live virtual Q&A sessions, a community discussion forum, and direct access to mentors throughout the program.

Mentorship is provided by Canadian-trained FCAMPT physiotherapists who are registered mentors with the Orthopaedic Division of the CPA. Participation may count toward direct mentorship hours required by Advanced Manual Therapy programs.
