“Maybe I would’ve been more comfortable in my Ignorance?”: Exploring future physical therapist’s lived experience of an elective pain science course. Leyland, Z. A., Walton, D. M., & Kinsella, E. A. Physiotherapy Theory and Practice, 39(12):2688–2697, 2023.

Through the Master of Physical Therapy program at a Canadian University, Understanding Pain in Rehabilitation (PT9551b) has been an elective option for physical therapy students with the final submission based on a reflective diary. The primary intention of the course is to introduce a critical social science perspective of pain and pain management. A secondary intention is to facilitate student reflection on how they see themselves as ‘providers of pain management’ or ‘providers of physical therapy for people in pain’ although at this point, the students’ experiences of learning in this way has not been rigorously explored. There has yet to be a systemic examination of how physical therapy students experience learning about pain through such a course, and how the course has impacted their perspectives.
