“…To our knowledge, no peerreviewed articles have assessed QI training needs for PTs; however, a systematic review describes QI education for health professions, 116 and other medical disciplines have described needs 16,117,118 and guidelines. 119,120 In alignment with the American PT Association's strategic plan for improving quality of care, 121 and to better understand current exposure to QI in PT curricula, a needs assessment may be warranted.…”

Introduction: Quality improvement (QI) is a useful methodology for improving healthcare, often through iterative changes. There is no prior review on the application of QI in physical therapy (PT). Purpose and Relevance: To characterize and evaluate the quality of the QI literature in PT. Methods: We searched four electronic databases from inception through September 1, 2022. Included publications focused on QI and included the practice of PT. Quality was assessed using the 16-point QI Minimum Quality Criteria Set (QI-MQCS) appraisal tool. Results: Seventy studies were included in the review, 60 of which were published since 2014 with most (n = 47) from the United States. Acute care (n = 41) was the most prevalent practice setting. Twenty-two studies (31%) did not use QI models or approaches and only nine studies referenced Revised Standards for QI Reporting Excellence guidelines. The median QI-MQCS score was 12 (range 7–15). Conclusions/Implications: Quality improvement publications in the PT literature are increasing, yet there is a paucity of QI studies pertaining to most practice settings and a lack of rigor in project design and reporting. Many studies were of low-to-moderate quality and did not meet minimum reporting standards. We recommend use of models, frameworks, and reporting guidelines to improve methodologic rigor and reporting.

Curriculum regulation and its oversight are indispensable and vital components of professional development. Regulatory bodies along with professional organisations have an essential role in curriculum regulation. The Pakistan Speech and Language Pathology Association, a body duly registered under the laws of Pakistan and whose governing body exclusively comprises pathologists with master’s in Speech Language, has taken up the matter of standardisation and uniformity of curriculum with universities and with the Higher Education Commission. The commission regulates the undergraduate curricula, but there remains lack of uniformity in curriculum and its monitoring in Pakistan. The current narrative review was planned to highlight the indiscipline in rehabilitation curriculum development and implementation and its causes. Key Words: Curriculum, Inhibitors, Physical therapy, Regulatory body, Speech language pathology.

“…Therefore, efforts need to be made to provide recommendations for the integration of PM&R education throughout all 4 yrs of a medical school curriculum. Unfortunately, there is limited literature on recommendations for how to integrate PM&R within medical school curriculum, and much of the current recommendations primarily focus on the residency level of training 7–9 …”

Increasing medical student exposure to physical medicine and rehabilitation is an important factor for future growth of the field. Therefore, it is important to determine which types of interventions during medical school have the greatest impact on medical students’ decision to pursue a career in physical medicine and rehabilitation. The purpose of this study is to perform a scoping review of the current literature that has analyzed how different interventions and experiences impact medical school students’ decision to pursue a career in physical medicine and rehabilitation. A systematic and comprehensive search strategy was implemented across five different journal databases and yielded 18 articles meeting the inclusion criteria. Most studies analyzing specific interventions looked only at presurvey and postsurvey comparisons of the immediate impact of the intervention on interest in physical medicine and rehabilitation, and few looked at longitudinal outcomes, such as match characteristics. The most frequently cited factor that was shown to positively impact interest in physical medicine and rehabilitation was early exposure. Participating in clinical rotations also had a positive impact but was most effective when combined with early exposure. This review highlights the need for national recommendations for integrating physical medicine and rehabilitation into all 4 yrs of medical education.
