This refers to the gradual increase in the educational levels required to gain employment in a particular field, often driven by the increasing complexity of the work involved. The HSAA gave the examples of the Michener Institute in Ontario that has recently moved from a two-year program in medical radiation technology and nuclear medicine, to a five-year program, and of the proposal in Alberta to require a masters level program for entry to clinical practice in physical therapy.[180]
La HSAA donne l’exemple de l’Institut Michener en Ontario, dont le programme de deux ans en technologie de la radiation médicale et en médecine nucléaire dure maintenant cinq ans, et celui de la proposition en Alberta voulant que l’on exige des études de niveau de maîtrise pour les physiothérapeutes en pratique clinique[94].
