The scope of practice in physical therapy continues to expand, with greater opportunity for clinicians to deepen and focus their expertise, improving quality of care for patients/clients. As a doctoring profession, we are accountable for commitment to professional development and clinical excellence, integrity, moral agency, and competence.
