| description | The objective of this research work was to characterize the socio-demographic conditions and the general aspects of the professional practice of physiotherapy graduates as part of the macroproject called "Working and health conditions of physiotherapists in Colombia". It is a descriptive, cross-sectional study, using a sampling technique of 114 graduates from the Physiotherapy program at THE University of Boyacá, Colombia. The average age was 33.3 years, predominant female sex 95.6%. The most frequent civil status: single 47.4%, while 50% of the interviewee belonged to the social status 3. Regarding the professional aspects; currently 90.4% of physiotherapists are working in jobs related to their profession, 49% of them hold a postgraduate degree; 68% work an average of 8 and 10 hours a day. Despite the working conditions, it is observed that the hours worked, 36.9% of the graduates receive between 2 and 4 minimum Colombian wages. This average salary is comparable to that of other programs such as nursing and healthcare administration, which shows the precarious remuneration of this type of professionals in Colombia. |

El objetivo de este trabajo fue el de caracterizar las condiciones socio-demográficas y los aspectos generales del ejercicio profesional de los egresados de Fisioterapia, como parte del macroproyecto: Condiciones laborales y de salud de los Fisioterapeutas en Colombia. Se trata de un estudio descriptivo, de corte transversal, con una muestra de 114 egresados del programa de fisioterapia de la Universidad de Boyacá, Colombia. La edad promedio fue de 33,3 años, sexo predominante femenino con un 95,6%; el estado civil más frecuente fue soltero con un 47,4%, mientras que el 50% de los entrevistados pertenecían al estrato social 3. Entre los aspectos profesionales se destaca que el 90,4% trabaja en empleos relacionados con la profesión, el 49% con formación en posgrado; además, el 68% trabaja entre 8 y 10 horas diarias; a pesar de las horas laboradas, se observa que el 36,9% de los egresados reciben entre 2 y 4 salarios mínimos. Lo anterior constituye un promedio salarial similar a programas como enfermería y administración en salud, lo cual evidencia la precaria remuneración de este tipo de profesionales en Colombia.
