National Orthopaedic Division
The National Orthopaedic Division (NOD) is a Canadian, non-profit division of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association that aims to advance orthopaedic physiotherapy. Founded in 1974, NOD was created to promote the highest standards of orthopaedic physiotherapy. Members are able to improve their skills and service delivery with access to education, practice, networking and resources.
NOD consists of over 5,000 registered clinicians, students, academia, business owners, and researchers to advance and grow the profession.[1]
NOD is an accredited provider of professional development courses and programs that meets international standards through the International Federation of Orthopaedic Manipulative Physical Therapists (IFOMPT).
History
In 1974, at the World Congress of Physiotherapy in Montreal[2], the Canadian Physiotherapy Association (CPA) voted to allow the formation of the Orthopaedic Division; a subgroup with a special interest in orthopaedic physiotherapy. NOD was founded to help physiotherapists and members with their professional development, through evidence-informed curriculum, access to information on best practices, and opportunities to collaborate and learn from peers.[1] The OD education system has been an associate member of the International Federation of Orthopaedic Manipulative Physical Therapists (IFOMPT) since 1978, and fully accredited since 1984[3].
