The World Physiotherapy Congress (formerly known as the World Confederation for Physical Therapy – or WCPT) has given physiotherapists and rehabilitation specialists an opportunity every two years to share ideas and think about and plan the future of our professions. This year, due to the challenges posed by COVID, the World Physiotherapy Congress created a digital space for presentations and networking opportunities for rehabilitation professionals from around the world.
Physiopedia is proud to participate in this year's congress from April 9-11, 2021 at which several Physiopedia-specific presentations and some team members will present their own research results.
Congratulations to the team and the following speakers on their contributions to evidence-based rehabilitation knowledge.
Special congratulations to Dr. Nicole Beamish, who received the following Congressional Award : World Physiotherapy Outstanding Platform Presentation Award: Caribbean North America.
