Common questions

Writing a physiotherapist resume.

Caseload, patient population, and the post-graduate training that widens what you can treat. Open Physiotherapist roles on the board right now: 108.

No. A long modality list reads as filler, and a Physiotherapist is hired on the populations they can take from day one, not on the equipment they have touched.

It does not, and it often will not. Canadian programs grant a physical therapy degree while the protected title used to practise as a Physiotherapist in Saskatchewan is different, so list both as they are written.
