Abstract reviewers

Are you interested in acting as an abstract reviewer? If so, please complete the online questionnaire at www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/WCPT2017-reviewers by 31st August 2016.   The International Scientific Committee is recruiting potential reviewers of platform and poster abstracts submitted for possible presentation at congress. The number of abstracts sent to reviewers will depend on their area of expertise and the number of submissions received, however, it is anticipated that reviewers will receive no more than 30.   The review process will begin on Monday 14th November and all reviews must be completed by Friday 2nd December 2016.

Confusión mundial por el mal uso de los términos KINESIOLOGÍA Y KINESIÓLOGOS - enviar este mensaje a todos sus contactos de nuestras profesiones FISIOTERAPIA = KINESIOLOGÍA

FISIOTERAPIA = KINESIOLOGÍA

Por favor, si tienen "kinesiólogos deportivos" o “Auxiliares de kinesiología” de Uruguay, que pretenden participar de sus cursos o congresos, la Asociación de Fisioterapeutas del Uruguay, tiene el deber de comunicarles que esos diplomas o certificados que les otorgan empresas privadas o la UTU, no son universitarios, son cursos de máximo 2 años, cuando no, de 6 meses.

Se están haciendo pasar por Kinesiólogos argentinos en nuestra frontera con Argentina y asistiendo a congresos de fisioterapeutas y kinesiólogos profesionales. Luego presentan certificados de asistencia a sus cursos y congresos y van aumentando su currículo engañando a la población y a algunos médicos.

Solamente en Uruguay existen, y se presentan en otros países, en congresos, o para trabajar, como profesionales, sin tener los conocimientos que adquirimos los Fisioterapeutas en 5 años de carrera universitaria, conocimientos imprescindibles para cumplir las tareas propias de los fisioterapeutas y kinesiólogos del mundo.

Por favor, cuando se presente un uruguayo a participar de sus cursos o congresos, soliciten el título de Lic. en Fisioterapia, que es el equivalente curricular al de Kinesiólogo en Chile, en Argentina y en Francia, y que nos exige estar habilitados por el Ministerio de Salud de nuestros países para trabajar en la salud y en la prevención.

Gracias.

Saludos cordiales.
