  • Title: Nursing, occupational therapy, and physical therapy preparation in rheumatology in the United States and Canada.
    Author: Jette AM, Becker MC.
    Journal: J Allied Health; 1980 Nov; 9(4):268-75. PubMed ID: 7462089.
    Abstract:
    Directors of undergraduate programs in nursing, physical therapy, and occupational therapy in the United States and Canada were surveyed to determine the amount and perceived adequacy of the current degree of classroom and clinical exposure to the rheumatic diseases. One hundred ninety-one (73%) of the 262 mailed questionnaires were returned. Results indicate that regardless of the actual degree of rheumatologic classroom exposure, directors in all three disciplines view current amounts as adequate. A larger proportion views levels of clinical exposure as inadequate. In general, the Canadian programs had a greater emphasis on rheumatology than their United States counterparts.
