“…Similar to previous studies, the interviewees regarded professionalism as the backbone of their clinical practice (Desveaux et al, 2012;Desveaux and Verrier, 2014;Lopopolo, Schafer, and Nosse, 2004;McGowan, Martin, and Stokes, 2016;McGowan and Stokes, 2015a;Schafer, Lopopolo, and Luedtke-Hoffmann, 2007). This was tied to a need to demonstrate their knowledge and increase their credibility in their patients' eyes, but also to mitigate the risk of over-friendliness inherent to the nature of repeated meetings (Desveaux et al, 2012).…”

Objectives: Health care is undergoing changes and this requires the participation and leadership of all health-care professions. While numerous studies have explored leadership competence among physicians and nurses, the physiotherapy profession has received but limited attention. The aim of this study was to explore how leadership manifests in the patient-therapist interaction among physiotherapists in primary health care and how the physiotherapists themselves relate their perception of leadership to their clinical practice. Methods: A qualitative study with semistructured interviews was conducted with a purposive sample of 10 physiotherapists working in primary health care. The interviews were analyzed using inductive qualitative content analysis. Results: Five themes were identified related to how leadership manifests in the patient-therapist interaction: (1) establishing resonant relationships; (2) engaging patients to build ownership; (3) drawing on authority; (4) building on professionalism; and (5) relating physiotherapists clinical practice to leadership. Conclusion: This study describes how leadership manifests in the patientphysiotherapist interaction. The findings can be used to empower physiotherapists in their clinical leadership and to give them confidence in taking on formal leadership roles, thus becoming active participants in improving health care. Future studies are needed to explore other aspects of leadership used in physiotherapy clinical practice. ARTICLE HISTORY

“…Leadership is key in the future development of physiotherapy as a profession, in its positioning within the healthcare field and in society [ 46 , 47 ]. The scarcity of leaders causes physiotherapists to lack influence in the development of policies and in the forums where decisions affecting the profession are made [ 22 , 23 ].…”

“…The lack of leadership opportunities in healthcare organizations for physiotherapists [ 46 ] limits their professional expectations and is a barrier to their development [ 47 ], with little representation of physiotherapists in the forums in which political decisions are made on the development of the profession in the health systems [ 48 ]. This is necessary for the unity of physiotherapists to achieve success for the profession in these forums.…”

“…To develop the personal leadership curricular thread, the department budgeted for and retained the ignite speaker as a consultant. Using current evidence [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] and the consultant's mentorship, the program's curricular committee outlined a faculty-approved curricular thread and framework in personal leadership. Department funded workshops educated and oriented academic and clinical faculty (two 2-day workshops) and students (8 hours of content) to the personal leadership concept.…”

Background and Purpose. Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) programs accept responsibility for the development of clinical skills and professional behaviors in students. Academic and clinical faculty endeavor to teach and mentor at the highest levels. Doctor of Physical Therapy programs that develop leadership intentionally, specifically personal, or self-leadership may be successful in leading positive change within their graduates' relationships, environments, and patient outcomes.

It includes characteristics such as authenticity, passion, emotional intelligence, trustworthiness, and credibility. Case Description. This case report will unveil how 1 established residential DPT program integrated personal leadership explicitly as a curricular thread. The 3 pillars are leading self, leading others, and leading systems: organizations and communities.

The program achieved purposeful integration, including academic/clinical faculty development and progressive student learning experiences. Outcomes. Program assessment through focus groups and curricular surveys shows that students value the curricular content in personal leadership and are meeting the curricular thread behavioral objectives. Discussion and Conclusion. The personal leadership curricular thread shows promise to promote leadership behaviors in students and graduates.
