Résumé
Faculty teaching pediatric content in accredited doctor of physical therapy programs was recruited; 106 responded. Students representing 20 participating programs were also invited to participate; 23 responded. Participants received an online questionnaire including closed- and open-ended questions regarding EL with children. Descriptive statistics were used to describe responses. Responses to open-ended questions were compiled and reviewed. Respondents reported an average of 12.4 hours of EL with children in required courses. Satisfaction with quality was stronger than with amount of EL. Several perceived barriers and facilitators were reported. Use of and satisfaction with EL with children in physical therapists' education vary. Continued research on this variation and potential effects to educational outcomes is needed.
