Physical therapy in the Netherlands is on the move. Physiotherapists are subjected to increasingly higher requirements regarding knowledge of basic medical sciences, interdisciplinary cooperation, communication, academic and scientific skills. We foresee an increasingly academic development in which intensified cooperation with health professionals within and between the first- and second-line health care (‘anderhalvelijns zorg’) will be decisive for providing effective, efficient and safe care to patients with disorders of the musculoskeletal system.
SOMT University of Physiotherapy positions itself as an expert in the field of physical therapy in the Netherlands and has also developed a course Anderhalvelijnszorg: Gericht Verwijzen.
The course is offered annually in September. Find all information about the course in the continuing education calendar.
