It remains unclear how effective this care model is for socio-economically and culturally diverse areas like Scarborough, Ontario. This study aimed to (1) understand administrators\u2019 and practitioners\u2019 perspectives on how FHTs are operating in this region; and (2) illuminate the current and potential roles of physiotherapists within FHTs to address diverse health needs in the Scarborough community.\n                    <jats:bold>\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Method:<\/jats:italic>\n                    <\/jats:bold>\n                    Participants were recruited by snowball and purposive sampling and completed semi-structured interviews.

All participants noted that physiotherapists would be beneficial to FHTs. Three overarching themes emerged from the data: (1) FHT model of care, (2) resource availability and allocation, and (3) competing perspectives on interprofessional collaboration in FHTs.\n                    <jats:bold>\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Conclusion:<\/jats:italic>\n                    <\/jats:bold>\n                    FHTs in underserved areas may benefit from greater integration of physiotherapists to maximize the potential of this care model. Ongoing communication with governing bodies and front-line workers about changing health needs in the community to improve resource allocation and funding is crucial. Increasing diversity within FHTs could better represent the cultural diversity of Scarborough.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3138\/ptc-2024-0091","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,9]],"date-time":"2026-07-09T15:13:27Z","timestamp":1783610007000},"page":"354-364","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["The Role of Physiotherapists on Family Health Teams: Understanding Active Interprofessional Team Members\u2019 Perspectives"],"prefix":"10.3138","volume":"78","author":[{"given":"Alyssa","family":"Benitez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Department of Physical Therapy, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Aly","family":"Knox","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Department of Physical Therapy, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Brooke","family":"Hogben","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Department of Physical Therapy, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Adam","family":"Ziabari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Department of Physical Therapy, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Phillip","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Department of Physical Therapy, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rahul","family":"Manikonda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Department of Physical Therapy, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Euson","family":"Yeung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Department of Physical Therapy, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Charlotte","family":"Anderson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Department of Physical Therapy, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1696","reference":[{"issue":"2","key":"e_1_3_8_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"165","DOI":"10.1370\/afm.1228","article-title":"Progress of Ontario\u2019s family health team model: a patient-centered medical home","volume":"9","author":"Rosser WW","year":"2011","unstructured":"Rosser WW, Colwill JM, Kasperski J, .
