In 2011, the WCPT developed guidelines for physical therapist professional entry level educational programs. The identification of the paediatric essential content areas by the IOPTP was developed to expand the description of the paediatric content that should be incorporated in professional entry-level educational programs. The IOPTP guideline and the WCPT guideline may provide guidance on standards, criteria, or courses of action in areas relevant to physical therapy education research, practice, or policy. These guidelines may be used for curriculum planning, curriculum development, in internal and external quality assurance processes and benchmarking, and standards assessment.
