MAP Future Network

The MAP Future Network (MAPF) was originally launched in 2015 following a discussion initiated during “The MAP Journey: 2014-2019” consultation session, in which physiotherapy students highlighted the importance of including students within the MAP. This resulted in the formation of the MAPF consisting of student representatives from the physiotherapy course and an early career professional who meet up with a representative from MAP.

MAPF’s main aim is to strengthen the students’ voice and create a symbiotic relationship between qualified physiotherapists and physiotherapy students, both on a local and international level. Furthermore this aligns with the WCPT – Future Network, which represents student and early career physiotherapists on an international level.  Additionally, MAPF also aims at educating the general population about physiotherapy, in the hope of eradicating misconceptions, as well as creating a positive ideology of the profession. 

MAPF encourages as many students as possible to join MAP, under the auspices of MAPF, as it allows easy access to continued professional development (CPD) and social events. This give students the opportunity to meet and discuss with graduated physiotherapists who are experts in their fields.
