Project R-14718

Promoting Obesity and Metabolic Rehabilitation Inclusion in EU Entry-level Physiotherapy Curricula. (Education)

The PROMINENCE project seeks to promote inter-connected higher education institutions and systems by collaborating to develop and standardise obesity education in physiotherapy programmes and align with European Qualifications Framework by sharing knowledge, skills, expertise and developing (digital) contemporary evidence-based obesity education across boundaries. The aim is to drive best practice in physiotherapy education across the EU with a view to producing highly skilled practitioners who demonstrate a whole-person and compassionate cross-cultural approach to patient care in obesity and metabolic rehabilitation. As such, through a transnational collaboration of higher education institutions and the European Region of the World Confederation of Physical Therapy, the PROMINENCE project focuses on developing an obesity competency framework, curriculum and open education resource for physiotherapy entry-level education regarding obesity.
