Experiences of physiotherapists learning to adopt a biopsychosocial model by following the ‘pain in private practice’ professionalization course: a qualitative study
Findings from this study show promise in using a course that contains experiential learning, workplace facilitation, and home assignments, to train physiotherapists working in private practice to implement a biopsychosocial approach. Valuable insights into key barriers and facilitators show potential in informing the refinement of course design, and support understanding of the use of educational strategies for promoting new practice behaviors.
