The new site has eight main sections making information readily accessible. New sections include:

Education: a brand new section with details on continuing professional development opportunities and international development vacancies

Practice: essential information on delivering high quality physical therapy services

The WCPT President, Marilyn Moffat, sums up the project’s objectives, “Our primary goal is for the WCPT website to be the primary international portal for information about the profession and WCPT. We want to provide visitors around the world with user-friendly, reliable and timely information. We feel this has been achieved and packaged in a very attractive and eye-catching design.”

From Thursday 10th April, website visitors will be able to sign-up to specific areas of interest and receive e-alerts whenever new material is added. Go to www.wcpt.org/user/register and login to benefit from the new opportunities on offer.
