What is "Advanced Practice"?

A leadership role with a clinical (expert level) component

Advanced Practice isn’t just about clinical expertise, it is a leadership role with additional domains that include Research, Scholarship, Professional Development, Organizational Leadership and Education. At the Holland Centre, our candidate selection criteria included a Research Masters degree, a strong background in Orthopaedics, complex decision-making skills, professional leadership, evidence of innovation, experience in program development and outcome evaluation. 

The role of Advanced Practice Physiotherapists is to work collaboratively with the Orthopaedic Surgeons and other Outpatient Team Members.
