To gauge the need for a new assessment instrument for Canadian physiotherapy students on clinical placements. A national survey was developed and distributed to 18,110 Canadian physiotherapists. A total of 3,148 physiotherapists from diverse practice settings responded to the survey. Of those who indicated that student evaluation was applicable to them (=2,393), 70% stated that a new instrument was needed; of these, 78% felt that the new instrument should be based on Canadian practice standards and rated with an anchored visual analogue scale, and 73% said they would be comfortable completing the instrument online. The majority of physiotherapists surveyed perceive a need for a new clinical evaluation instrument based on Canadian practice standards. A shorter, Canadian-based instrument may help recruit more clinical instructors and build capacity for clinical placements.
为评估加拿大物理治疗专业学生临床实习所需的新评估工具。开展了一项全国性调查，并分发给18110名加拿大物理治疗师。共有3148名来自不同实践环境的物理治疗师回复了调查。在表示学生评估适用于他们的人中（=2393人），70%表示需要一种新工具；其中，78%认为新工具应基于加拿大实践标准并采用锚定视觉模拟量表进行评分，73%表示他们愿意在线完成该工具。大多数接受调查的物理治疗师认为需要一种基于加拿大实践标准的新临床评估工具。一个更简短、基于加拿大的工具可能有助于招募更多临床带教教师并增强临床实习的能力。
