Profiling the profession globally
As the global body for the profession, WCPT is uniquely placed to provide an important service by collating international data about the physical therapy profession. Through surveys completed by its member organisations WCPT is able to publish data on a range of issues, including professional regulation, practice, education, and the number of physical therapists.

The latest data is now available with a country profile published for every member organisation that completed the 2018 survey. Interactive maps are also available allowing people to see the state of the global profession: www.wcpt.org/cds/globalprofile/2018/physnumber

Access individual reports by visiting country pages in the member organisation section of the website: www.wcpt.org/members
