Clinical reasoning is a core skill for all physiotherapists practicing in the Australian healthcare system.
The ability to clinically reason is a vital skill for physiotherapists who find success in Australia – used to solve clinical problems and support decision-making.
It involves the process of effective clinical decision-making, assessing patients, and ensuring that care provided by physiotherapists use evidence-based practice principles, leading to achieving optimal results for patients.
For international physiotherapists looking to pass the Council’s Clinical Assessment and find employment in Australia, you should be able to demonstrate clinical reasoning ability.
Ultimately, Australian healthcare employers are looking for practitioners who can deliver a high-quality standard of care to a range of patients through Australian communities.
