Access to physiotherapy services in South African settings: stretching a hand to under-resourced communities with students as agents of change.

WHAT IT FOUND

What this paper is

This is a reflective piece and curriculum description detailing how physiotherapy students at the University of the Witwatersrand are trained to address health inequities in South Africa. It outlines the four-year curriculum and includes personal anecdotes from educators about student experiences in community placements. It reports no patient outcomes, no trial results, and no data on the effectiveness of these educational strategies, so there is nothing here to act on clinically.
