Pursuing Quality Education in Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine in Japan.
Toyoko Asami
PMID 36188908WHAT IT FOUND
No patient outcomes or tested interventions are reported in this account of Japan's rehabilitation medicine education system, so there is nothing here to change clinical practice.
What this paper is
This is a descriptive account of Japan's rehabilitation medicine education system, including the author's experience at Saga University. It gives no study methods, patient outcomes, or evidence that an intervention works, so there is no finding for therapists to act on.
The easy way to misread this
Do not read this as evidence that a rehabilitation education approach improves patient care. It reports no patient outcomes or tested intervention.
