Physiotherapists are autonomous practitioners who are able to perform functional examinations, identify impairments, functional limitations, abilities, and disabilities by using clinical decision-making processes. Students of the 4-year program will learn how to integrate their medical knowledge of internal medicine, orthopedics, traumatology, rheumatology and neurology with radiology and imaging diagnostics to design complex, customized rehabilitation and treatment plans. They will acquire a holistic approach, addressing not only the physical aspects of the patient’s well-being, but also their emotional, psychological, and social well-being. Graduate physiotherapists are able to work at all stages of healthcare, including prevention, education, intervention, rehabilitation, and treatment.
