The profession of physical therapy in Ukraine has had several milestones in its development, including the beginning of the Russian-Ukrainian war in 2014 and its full-scale escalation in 2022. After 2022, the picture of physical therapy needs changed, with a significant increase in the demand for physical therapists in public hospitals. At the same time, gaps in the education system and physical therapists\u2019 education have become apparent.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kateryna\u2019s presentation highlighted the challenges, barriers and facilitators for physical therapy in Ukraine and the steps taken by the Ukrainian and international community to improve the quality of formal and non-formal education of physical therapists. One such facilitator has been the support from Physiopedia in providing organisations in Ukraine with free access to Plus online rehabilitation education \u2013 including <\/span>online courses developed specifically to address the needs of Ukrainian rehabilitation specialists and translated into Ukrainian<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

Physiopedia have also worked closely in support of four universities in strengthening educational programmes<\/a> to international standards <\/span>and in facilitating a mentoring programme for physical therapists to support with progressively implementing international experience in student education. <\/span>Many academic institutions in Ukraine are integrating Plus online courses into their curricula to complement existing teaching strategies, fill gaps in teaching capacity, supplement educational activities and for self-study by bachelor and masters level higher education students.<\/p>\n
