“…As institutions that are essential to this process, universities should be focused on problem solving and social needs with special responsibility towards the production of new knowledge and the formation of critical and socially committed professionals. In this context, the formation of a physical therapist should not be based on specialties, but on health policies [12][13][14] .…”

| The implementation of the Unified Health System in Brazil (Sistema Único de Saúde -SUS) and the search for its principles have led to changes in health practices, promoting alterations in the formation and development processes of the professionals of the field. In this context, this study aims to determine the perception of Physical Therapy students from a Higher Education Institution in the city of Teresina, Piauí, Brazil, on their training to provide services for SUS, by means of the application of a questionnaire specifically designed for this study. The research sample was composed of 42 out of the 54 students of Physical Therapy enrolled from the 6 th to the 10 th periods, which is also the last period of the course. The results show that 81% of academicians reported knowing something about SUS because of higher education institution. It was observed that only members of the sample attending the 10 th period (28.6%) were interns in the public health system and community physical therapy. It was found that 91.7% of students from the 10 th period and 43.3% of the students representing the other periods judged themselves to be able to work with the system. Thus, it appears that most interviewed students are aware of SUS, because of graduation, and believe to be prepared to work with the health system, especially after the supervised internship.

“…Percentage of the distribution of undergraduate Physical Therapy programs that off er Sports Physical Therapy as part of the curriculum north and Midwest regions have significantly less programs in this area. The haphazard expansion of Physical Therapy programs worsened with the stagnation of public PSIs and the incentive to private institutions 11 . The haphazard spreading of Physical Therapy programs is reflected on the formation of professionals in this area, and, consequently, on the constitution of a solid foundation for the development of the area of Sports Physical Therapy.…”

| The proceedings of the First Brazilian Forum of Sports Physical Therapy Professors describe guidelines to standardize education in undergraduate and graduate programs in relation to the teaching of Sports Physical Therapy in Post-Secondary Institutions (PSI). The aim of this study was to describe the profile of Sports Physical Therapy programs in Brazilian PSIs. A cross-sectional study was conducted from January to October, 2011. Through a search on the e-MEC (Ministry of Education and Culture) database, 439 institutions that offer undergraduate Physical Therapy programs were identified. Subsequently, we collected information contained in the pedagogical planning of these PSIs, specifically about the existence or absence of the discipline of Sports Physical Therapy, workload, and practicum. A questionnaire was sent to the coordinators of 33% of the PSIs that offer the discipline of Sports Physical Therapy. This subject is offered in 56% of the Brazilian PSIs that have Physical Therapy programs, it is mandatory in 97% of them and, in 62%, the content is offered together with another discipline. Based on the answers to the questionnaires, 31% of the programs have a total discipline workload ranging from 30 to 45 hours per semester, 50% of the programs offer practicum, and only 20% of the PSIs offer graduate programs in the area. We also investigated the professors' schooling: 24% of them are specialists, 31% have a Master' s degree, only 3% have a PhD degree, and 34% obtained the title of specialist member from the National Sports Physical Therapy Society (SONAFE). We observed that the Sports Physical Therapy programs in Brazilian PSIs are not in accordance with the guidelines that regulate teaching in undergraduate and graduate courses in the area.Keywords | physical therapy specialty; sports; education.resumo | O I Fórum Nacional dos Docentes da Fisioterapia Esportiva descreve diretrizes para normatização do ensino de graduação e pós-graduação referente à Fisioterapia Esportiva, as quais fundamentam orientações para Instituições do Ensino Superior (IES).

“…In a study of 587 Canadian occupational therapists, 70% of the professionals knew ICF somehow, and about 30% of them reported they used the classification in clinical practice 14 . However, in a study of 22 physiotherapists in Israel, most professionals had familiarity with the concepts of ICF and about two-thirds of these professionals reported that used it, even partially, in their clinical practice 15 . These previous findings 17,18 agreed with the results of this study, which revealed that, although 72% of participants reported to know the ICF, only 30% used it in some way in their professional practice.…”

This study aims to evaluate the profile and knowledge of physiotherapists and occupational therapists from Minas Gerais about the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) application in professional practice, trying to understand the reason for the underutilization of this universal instrument in Brazil. Observational and cross-sectional study was conducted using an online questionnaire prepared by specialists. An email was sent to all physiotherapists and occupational therapists enrolled in the Regional Council of the 4th Region. Of 22,121 emails, 1,313 were answered. 53% of the sample had graduate certificate, 65% had between two to ten years of experience, and 62% reported that clinics and patients’ houses are the places where they work. 72% of the professionals knew the ICF and 84% correctly answered the meaning of the acronym. However, 71% of professionals are unaware of the fields that make up this classification. The first contact with the ICF happened during graduation to 50% of professionals, and 28% had never had contact with ICF. 74% reported not using it in clinical practice. However, 82% of the participants believed that the use of ICF is viable in clinical practice. Most professionals had graduate certificate, worked in clinics and patients’ homes and, although most of them claim to know the ICF, the largest portion of the sample reported they did not use this classification in their professional lives, even though believing the ICF use is feasible. The lack of knowledge about the ICF prevents professionals from complying with the recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO), the Brazilian National Health Council (CNS) and COFFITO (Brazilian Federal Council of Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy) on the adoption of this instrument in exchange of information about health and clinical practice.
