| Popis: | Purpose The purpose of this work was to reexamine the status of professional pediatric physical therapy education in the United States. Methods A task force designed a 16-item survey and contacted representatives from all professional physical therapy programs. Results Surveys were gathered from 151 programs for a return rate of 75%. Much variability exists across programs in total number of hours devoted to pediatrics (range, 35-210 hours). In addition, almost 60% of respondents indicated that the individual responsible for delivering the pediatric content will be retiring within the next 15 years. Conclusion These results describe current pediatric professional education and provide numerous opportunities and challenges for the development of optimal professional pediatric education. |
