Going Green: Environmental Curriculum Within Entry‐Level Physiotherapy Programs in Australia and New Zealand—A Mixed Method Study

Most entry-level physiotherapy PD and HoD in Australia and New Zealand believe that climate change is happening and impacts human health. However, there is a lack of consensus regarding whether an environmental curriculum should be included in physiotherapy programs. Future research in this field is recommended, and collaboration among various physiotherapy stakeholders, including regulatory bodies and physiotherapy associations, is essential to facilitate the inclusion of climate change and sustainable development content within undergraduate physiotherapy programs.

Abstract

Most entry-level physiotherapy PD and HoD in Australia and New Zealand believe that climate change is happening and impacts human health. However, there is a lack of consensus regarding whether an environmental curriculum should be included in physiotherapy programs. Future research in this field is recommended, and collaboration among various physiotherapy stakeholders, including regulatory bodies and physiotherapy associations, is essential to facilitate the inclusion of climate change and sustainable development content within undergraduate physiotherapy programs.
