Welcome to the Alberta Association of Physiotherapy
In December 2020, the Health Statutes Amendment Act, 2020 (No. 2) (“Bill 46”) received Royal Assent. The Act includes several amendments to the Health Professions Act (HPA) including provisions that require regulatory colleges to cease functioning as professional associations and to divest themselves of any professional association functions they currently perform.
Effective January 1, 2022, the College of Physiotherapists of Alberta and the Alberta Association of Physiotherapy (AAP) have become two independent organizations.
We are excited to engage with the physiotherapists of Alberta to develop the Association!
Professional associations are invaluable partners to their members because they help them build and develop their practices and grow the profession. Associations are focused on activities such as advocacy, professional development / continuing education, and other member benefits
As the AAP develops its programs and services, you may find additional support through the Canadian Physiotherapy Association.
Member Input
At the end of 2021, more than 230 Alberta Physiotherapists completed an engagement survey. This great participation at the early stages of the Association gives us confidence that the overall results accurately represent our profession. We thank you for taking time to complete the survey and our current member engagement meetings!
The following areas were identified as the top areas to focus on:
- Advocacy
- Professional Development (Webinars, courses, etc.)
- Access to the Job Board
- Access to Find a Physio
The board remains absolutely committed to following through on these key areas of focus as they are fundamental to our profession and new Association. We have recently launched the Job Board. Be sure to join the association above, to access this as part of your member benefits.
Thank you we look forward to working with you as we continue the drive the work of the Association.
