Abstract
As the number of physical therapists is increasing, there is growing concern about the decrease in the quality of their work. Pioneer therapists with abundant experience have worked hard to establish the identity of physical therapists. On the other hand, mid-career therapists are impressed by their great predecessors and are now eagerly performing their duties to distinguish physical therapy from other therapies. In the current fluid society, we need to know how to guide goal-oriented students aspiring to become ideal physical therapists. A questionnaire was administered to the board of the Academy for Kansai Physical Therapy, which was established to develop skilled therapists. The results show that it is necessary to develop students' sensitivity and ability to perform, set goals and strive to achieve those goals.
