The Swiss physio schools are only now beginning with university education. For decades the training in Switzerland was non-academic, and my line of work was considered an ancillary medical profession.
In Ireland, where I did my exams, it was customary already in the early seventies to do two years of university training with medical students as part of the curriculum. These courses included lectures in physiology, physics, anatomy and psychology. An additional year in Canada – where the training was even more advanced – would have fetched one a Bachelor Of Physiotherapy degree. A class mate of mine went on to do a doctorate in physiotherapy in the late seventies! Currently she is lecturing in Trinity, Dublin, and working in a clinic.

(If I wanted a doctorate in physiotherapy in Switzerland, I’d have to wait for a Dr. h. c.!)
I welcome the changes that Switzerland is about to implement because the foundation of any professional training cannot be solid enough. Moreover, it is certainly motivating for newcomers to see that their dream profession is gaining more respect and recognition.
It is, however, necessary to keep in mind that our profession is patient-oriented; the best training is no use, if the therapist is too computer and science minded and reluctant to work hands-on.
The best teachers I encounter when I attend post graduate courses are those who have a large amount of clinical experience.
