University of Manitoba physiotherapy students Chay and Tonino are joined by first-year student Kevin to explore the essential role of confidentiality in physiotherapy practice. They discuss key responsibilities for protecting personal health information, common privacy risks, and practical steps to prevent and respond to breaches, including expectations under The Personal Health Information Act (PHIA).
