Physiotherapist - Amb Rheumatology Ped

The Physiotherapist provides and documents assessment, planning, implementation and evaluation within the scope of practice of physiotherapists. As a member of the multidisciplinary healthcare team in pediatric medicine, the Physiotherapist will apply their clinical knowledge of musculoskeletal and respiratory conditions to provide assessment and treatment to children ages 0-18. The Physiotherapist is responsible for assessment and treatment of musculoskeletal and respiratory issues, performing a variety of outcome measures, assisting with clinic flow when required and differentiating mechanical versus inflammatory causes of pain and functional impairments for various patients. The Physiotherapist is also responsible for supporting goal setting with patients and families around transition of care from pediatric to adult care settings, as well as taking on a teaching role for clinic learners (medical students, residents, etc.). Finally, our Physiotherapists take initiative to improve and grow the Physiotherapy role through research, quality improvement, and patient education.
