Description
Nathan Augeard and co-authors probe why a pain skill profile for Canadian physiotherapy schools has landed unevenly. Their 2025 study deals with a national profile that sets the pain care skills students should gain. Most schools back it, yet uptake in class plans varies. Five group talks drew twenty-three pain teachers and program heads from thirteen schools. Themes were sorted with a known frame for how new practice spreads.
Teachers prized the profile but named three blocks. Guidance on teaching and testing the skills is thin. The work leans on keen lone staff rather than school-wide backing. Sound testing of the skills is scarce. Calls rose for national teamwork, staff training, and shared tools.
