To (1) assess whether physiotherapists in a large Canadian province support the offering of a clinical master's degree programme; (2) identify what sector of this population is interested in participating in a clinical master's degree programme; (3) identify the most common personal/professional reasons for enrolling; (4) identify the type of programme that would appeal; and (5) assess barriers to participation in such a programme.
The survey and accompanying cover letter explaining the study were sent by postal mail to all 2,552 physiotherapists registered with the College of Physical Therapists of British Columbia (CPTBC).
The response rate was 17%; 90% of respondents support offering this type of physiotherapy degree in BC, and 14% reported that they were likely to enrol. Orthopaedics/manual therapy (41%) was the clinical area of most interest.
There is strong support for a clinical master's degree in orthopaedic manual therapy in BC. There is greater support for a part-time programme with an inter-professional component, using a combination of e-learning and classroom teaching to reduce travel time and time away from family.
（1）评估加拿大一个大省的物理治疗师是否支持开设临床硕士学位课程；（2）确定该人群中哪些群体有兴趣参与临床硕士学位课程；（3）确定报名的最常见个人/职业原因；（4）确定有吸引力的课程类型；（5）评估参与此类课程的障碍。
通过邮政信件向不列颠哥伦比亚省物理治疗师学院（CPTBC）注册的所有2552名物理治疗师发送了调查问卷及附带的解释研究的求职信。
回复率为17%；90%的受访者支持在不列颠哥伦比亚省提供此类物理治疗学位，14%的受访者表示他们可能会报名。骨科/手法治疗（41%）是最感兴趣的临床领域。
不列颠哥伦比亚省对骨科手法治疗临床硕士学位有强烈支持。对于一个具有跨专业组成部分的兼职课程，采用电子学习和课堂教学相结合的方式以减少出行时间和与家人分离的时间，支持度更高。
