Students with a science background can pursue a career in physiotherapy. To practice as a physiotherapist or work professionally in a hospital or clinic, one must have a Bachelor's degree. The course provides students with a fundamental understanding of the human body based on medical sciences and training in therapy procedures and related skills. Course topics include anatomy, physiology, pathology, pharmacology, psychology, medical and surgical conditions, biomechanics, kinesiology, disability prevention, rehabilitation, and others. The course includes practical components, such as an internship where students work under professional supervision at various hospitals and institutions. Good interpersonal skills are important for physiotherapy as it is a patient-centered field. To excel, a physiotherapist must have strong analytical and logical reasoning, scientific reasoning and problem-solving skills, the ability to memorize and recall scientific facts, manual dexterity, physical stamina, patience, a sympathetic approach, a desire to help people, level-headedness to handle emergencies, mental and emotional fortitude, teamwork, good observation skills, and the ability to instill confidence in patients. These traits, combined with a thorough knowledge of anatomy, are key to success in physiotherapy.
