Dr. Wan Wan Yap and Amy Smith recently met with Jason Craig, Knowledge Lead, and Andrea Burton, CEO of the Physiotherapy Association of British Columbia, to discuss the proposed scope of practice change that would allow physiotherapists to order diagnostic medical imaging.
The BCRS shared key concerns related to ongoing radiologist shortages, wait times, appropriateness criteria, and clarification on the most responsible physician for incidental findings.
The Physiotherapy Association of British Columbia expressed a strong commitment to collaboration and invited BCRS to serve as an active partner throughout the process.
We are encouraged by the openness demonstrated in this meeting and look forward to continued collaboration.
