Physical Therapy

The primary focus of the program is to train high-level Bachelor of Physical Therapy specialists who possess up-to-date knowledge and practical skills in restoring impaired motor functions of the human body. The program emphasizes the development of an innovative clinical thinking style based on evidence-based international standards and protocols in the field of physical therapy and rehabilitation. The goal is to enable the restoration of full life activities in accordance with the individual's needs and desires in their environment.

The program aims to prepare competitive professionals for the healthcare system who are capable of solving complex specialized tasks and practical problems related to the dysfunctions of various organs and systems. This is achieved by ensuring high-quality educational services and adhering to high standards in scientific and professional activities.

One of the key features of the program is its student-centered approach, which is based on international standards in physical therapy and occupational therapy. This is possible thanks to the university's participation in the international REHAB project, which aligns the program with global recommendations from leading physical therapy associations. The program is also consistent with similar programs in EU countries.

The program includes an extensive cycle of professional training, involving students in practical skills development in the TNMU simulation center, REHAB laboratories, as well as internships and practice in rehabilitation institutions. Quality control over acquired skills is ensured through practical skills matriculations and Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE).

The educational and professional program is aligned with the recommendations of the European higher education structure and the requirements of professional associations, such as the World Confederation for Physical Therapy (WCPT) and the World Federation of Occupational Therapists (WFOT).

During the formation and adjustment of the program, the primary focus remains on practical professional training, combined with solid theoretical preparation to develop an innovative clinical thinking style. This approach ensures that the graduates are well-prepared to meet the demands of the healthcare system, providing qualified specialists with the knowledge and competencies needed in the current times.

These features are reflected in the professional and general competencies, program learning outcomes, and are fully aligned with the program’s goals.

The program pays special attention to the theoretical and practical knowledge of physical rehabilitation for patients with the most common contemporary diseases, such as those of the nervous, cardiovascular, respiratory systems, musculoskeletal dysfunctions, and injuries.

The program prepares specialists who can explain the need for physical therapy measures, conduct safe practices for both the patient/client and the practitioner, perform basic components of physical therapy assessment, interpret pathological processes and disorders, and apply appropriate physical therapy methods to correct them. Additionally, they are trained to effectively implement physical therapy programs and conduct operational, current, and staged monitoring of the patient's/client's condition.
