Abstract
Biokineticist and physiotherapy professional scopes of practice are
explicit that they are both exercise therapists, meaning that they use
exercise as a treatment modality. Despite these well-defined scopes
of the profession by the Health Professions Council of South Africa
(HPCSA), there are examples of infringements where one profession
is accused of conducting work supposedly the sole domain of the
other.1 This tension related to overlapping professional is present
globally.1 Role clarification is one of the interprofessional education
(IPE) core competencies that define the responsibilities and appropriate
role applications and optimises the scope of practice to effectively
deliver patient care.
