The University of Health Sciences is committed to developing online training courses for allied health personnel, said Vice Chancellor Prof IA Naveed on Saturday, addressing the first two-year class in the transitional Doctor of Physical Therapy (t-DPT) programme.
The new programme is designed to provide contemporary knowledge and skills to practising physical therapists.
?What makes physical therapists important is that they know how to look at the bigger picture and take care of the smallest details which sometimes mean nothing to others, even patients themselves, but at the end make a huge difference,? Prof Naveed said in his speech
UHS Registrar Dr Asad Zaheer said that the university was in discussions with the Higher Education Commission to make the t-DPT programme equivalent to an MPhil degree.
Dr Muhammad Asim, the course coordinator, said that the university had developed a sophisticated web portal through which students could pick up and submit their assignments. In the future, the university would offer courses for allied health personnel through its web portal.
Dr Fariha Shah, a faculty member, said that across the globe, physical therapy was recognised as an important treatment for musculo-skeletal, neuro-muscular, cardiopulmonary, integumentary, vestibular and sports-related injuries.
