Future workforce challenges and potential directions for career paths will be discussed throughout this subject. Students will have the opportunity to refine and advance their communication  skills by delivering a poster presentation on a topical issue facing the profession of physiotherapy or the physiotherapist’s changing role  in the local, national and international health care  environments.
