While the College recognizes that physiotherapists are self-directed, motivated adult learners who do continually look to maintain and improve their competence, the importance of ensuring a profession-wide dissemination of new information and understanding of topics is in our best interests as a profession.
In an effort to meet the goal of a wide dissemination of information, CPM Council agreed to making participation in some continuing education mandatory for both the renewal or conversion of licenses for existing registrants, as well as for the licensing of new registrants of the College. The name “College Selected Activity” was chosen to encompass the topics of jurisprudence, ethical decision making, and other topics based on professional and public interest issues.
The College selected activity for Active registration in 2025 is titled “Introduction to Indigenous Inclusion and Cultural Safety”. This training module aims to provide an introductory understanding of Indigenous histories, cultures, and the ongoing impact of colonial policies through the lens of health in the land now known as Canada, particularly focusing on Manitoba. This module will cover key topics such as the Indigenous history of Canada and Manitoba, Truth and Reconciliation, the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP), cultural safety, and Indigenous health.
The Manitoba Alliance of Health Care Regulators (MAHCP) engaged Braided Circle Consulting, a collaborative network of Indigenous professional women and their allies uniting community-focused, grassroots voices to steward purposeful reconciliation, as advisors and developers of the module content. CPM would like to express our gratitude to the advisors for sharing their experiences within healthcare with the working group while developing this module.
The completion of this College Selected Activity is a requirement for all physiotherapists renewing their license to practice on the Active Practice Register in 2025 OR converting to the Active Practice Register in 2025. The deadline to complete this module is January 31, 2025.
