2021

A consultation of partners and health professionals whose field of practice has an apparent connection with that of kinesiology was held in the summer of 2021, through the Office des professions du Québec, following which twenty theses were collected. These theses are now part of an additional step in the treatment process whose goal is to consolidate the portrait of kinesiology. This consultation exercise aims, if possible, to establish a certain number of observations, but also to reveal the main concerns related to the regulation of kinesiology. Based on these observations, the Office will be able to align itself correctly for the rest of the work.
