PTJ Author Interview: Curriculum Reform on Evidence-Based Practice Competencies

In 2015, France implemented a major reform to physical therapist education by extending programs from three years to five years and by revising the curriculum to embed evidence-based practice in clinical training. Listen as Associate Editor Jason Beneciuk, PT, DPT, PhD, MPH, talks with Vincent Fontanier, PhD, about his recently published study, which examined the impact of the reform and the changes in evidence-based practice competencies among physical therapist graduates. Fontanier is co-author of the article “Impact of entry-level curriculum reform on evidence-based practice competencies in physical therapists: a cross-sectional study.” Read the article on the PTJwebsite and follow PTJ on LinkedIn and Bluesky for more research updates.
