Postgraduate clinical physiotherapy education in acute hospitals: a cohort study.

CONCLUSIONS: A stream-specific education program increased junior physiotherapists' self-efficacy and self-rated confidence but not perceived ability to work independently on weekends. Results were non-randomized and actual practice change was not assessed. Future studies could investigate different educational structures in a blinded, randomized manner on clinical practice change.
