O fisioterapeuta do estado de São Paulo

Abstract

| To identify the profile of the physical therapist is important for a profession overview, which can help organs and institutions of higher education to train more qualified, fulfilled, valued, and recognized professionals for health care. The profile of the physical therapist has already been studied in other states, specific specialties or workplace; however we are not aware of the current profile of the physical therapist in the state of São Paulo (SP). The aim of this study was to describe the profile of the physical therapist of SP according to demographic, training, and professional performance aspects. All physical therapists registered in Crefito-3 with at least one year since graduation were invited to participate in the study, by means of answering an online questionnaire. También se observó que muchos trabajaban por cuenta propia, los que trabajaban en universidades y en clínicas propias son los que tenían mejor sueldo, y que el tiempo de formación y la experiencia son factores relevantes para tener mejores sueldos mensuales.
