"Introducción: Las actividades del fisioterapeuta incluyen atención clínica, gestión, docencia, investigación e implementación de políticas en salud. Desafortunadamente, el conocimiento médico del involucro del fisioterapeuta en estas actividades es precario, dificultando el trabajo interdisciplinario. Objetivo: Describir el conocimiento y percepción de los médicos residentes de un hospital de tercer nivel sobre las actividades e importancia del trabajo interdisciplinario con la fisioterapia. Método: Estudio observacional, descriptivo, de corte transversal. Se construyó y aplicó un cuestionario de 12 reactivos de opción múltiple en residentes de pediatría, genética médica, subespecialidades pediátricas y Cursos de Alta Especialidad en Medicina, quienes respondieron al menos el 80% de las preguntas. Se excluyeron residentes cuyos pacientes reciben fisioterapia en forma cotidiana. Resultados: Se incluyeron 158 médicos residentes, el 77.8% conocía sólo las actividades clínicas del fisioterapeuta. El 68% solicitó entre 1 a 4 interconsultas al mes. La mayoría reconoció la autonomía del fisioterapeuta para establecer diagnósticos funcionales más no tratamientos (68%), más de la mitad (66.7%) señaló la necesidad de pases de visita, sesiones clínicas y entregas de guardia en conjunto. Conclusiones: Sería conveniente incrementar el currículo del médico en formación sobre el campo de acción del fisioterapeuta y los beneficios del trabajo interdisciplinario."
