COLLEGE OF PHYSIOTHERAPY

Affiliated to Maharashtra University of Health Sciences, Nashik(MUHS)

The SIA College Premises, P-88, MIDC Residential Area, Dombivli Gymkhana Road, Sagarli, Dombivli (East) Dist. Thane Pin 421 203.
Program Specific Outcome-BPTh
I B.P.Th.
• The course deals with the knowledge and application of basic foundation in biological Science of Anatomy, physiology, and biochemistry, and physiotherapy core subjects of Kinesiology and movement science and physiotherapy.
• Students’ knowledge of Physics i.e. – Mechanics, Electricity, Water, Sound & Light is recalled to apply to the human body in understanding movements and the various physiotherapeutic modalities under the subject of Electrotherapy & Kinesiotherapy.

II B.P.Th.
• The course deals with an understanding of altered physiology by studying pathology & Microbiology. The students get oriented to various Pharmacotherapeutic agents, their mechanism of action, and their relevance to physiotherapy along with their effects by studying Pharmacology.
• The students will acquire knowledge about normal and altered human minds & behaviour by studying Psychology & Psychiatry. They will also learn the skills required for effective communication with patients and caregivers.
• Students will acquire the knowledge of Biomechanics as applicable to the human body in the context of Kinetics & kinematics of Joints, Movements & daily activities under the subject of Kinesiology and movement science and shall acquire knowledge and learn various physiotherapeutic skills on models in the subject of Kinesiotherapy.
• In the subject of Electrotherapeutics, students will acquire knowledge and learn the application & uses of various electrotherapeutic modalities on models.

III B.P.Th.
• The course deals with knowledge of the disease, its pharmacological and surgical management, and the application of movement dysfunction in relevance to the clinical subjects of Orthopaedics, General Surgery, Medicine, Neurology, Paediatrics, Dermatology & Gynecology & Obstetrics, Community Medicine and Sociology.
• Students will acquire knowledge about the principles of the International Classification of Functioning (I.C.F.) and its applicability in the context of movement dysfunctions.
• Students will learn physiotherapeutic evaluation skills including electrodiagnosis of patients to arrive at a Physical Therapy Diagnosis in Neuromuscular, Cardiovascular & Respiratory dysfunction. They will also acquire knowledge of various specialised manual therapy and neurodevelopmental techniques and cardiorespiratory practice skills on models under the subject of Physiotherapeutic skills.
• Knowledge about basics of kinesiotherapy and electrotherapy in Physiotherapy practice for dysfunctions pertaining to acute, sub-acute, or chronic (overuse) aspects related to Musculoskeletal, Neurological, Cardiac, vascular, respiratory, sports, obstetrics and gynaecology, occupational origins or as a consequence of physiological functioning, including ageing and pregnancy will be integrated.

IV B.P.Th.
• The course deals with the complete integration of biological, and clinical science along with physiotherapy core subjects. Students will revise, recall and integrate the knowledge of previous years to evaluate, functionally diagnose, plan and execute short and long-term management of various musculoskeletal, neurological & cardiovascular- respiratory dysfunctions in hospital and community settings.
• Students also acquire knowledge pertaining to health promotion & disease prevention throughout their lifespan in the community. They will also be able to analyse, prevent and treat problems associated with various industries in community physiotherapy.
• Students will also rationalise biomechanical principles & application of a variety of aids & appliances used for ambulation, protection & prevention by studying Bioengineering.

INTERNSHIP
• A period of 6 months (26 weeks) of continuous clinical practice to enhance the clinical reasoning, judgement, programme planning, intervention, evaluation of the intervention, follow up and referral skills of all the dysfunctions and impairments learned throughout the curriculum of four years. Those candidates declared to have passed the final year examination in all subjects shall be eligible for the internship which is to be carried out in the parent university.
• The internship shall be done in a teaching hospital recognized by the University. A degree certificate shall be awarded ONLY on successful completion of six months of internship.
• The Internship will be rotatory for 6 weeks each in areas of musculoskeletal, neurosciences, cardiovascular and respiratory (including critical care), and community. It shall cover clinical branches concerned with Physiotherapy such as Orthopaedics, Cardiovascular & Respiratory including ICU, Neurology & Neurosurgery Paediatrics, General Medicine, Surgery, Obstetrics, and Gynecology both inpatient and outpatient services.
• The institute can decide on an elective posting for a period of 2 weeks. The list of available elective postings will be decided by the institute and shall have mentors in each area with a maximum of 10 students and a minimum of 2 students per area. The institute will declare available electives prior to the university
• The students either individually or in a group will complete a short project which can be but is not limited to either a narrative review, documentation of cases in a series, or retrospective analysis
• Successful Completion: The student must maintain a logbook. On completion of each posting, the same will have to be certified by the faculty in charge of the posting for both attendance as well as work done. On completion of all the postings, the duly completed logbook will be submitted to the Principal/Head of the program to be considered as having successfully completed the internship program.

COMPEL MODULE
COMPEL MODULE Integration of soft skills, attitudes, ethics, professionalism, and research is essential for a practising physiotherapist. Hence the curriculum would address these competencies through the module COMPEL I-IV. These would include Course Modules in gaining competencies in Communication Skills, Professional Practice & Ethics, Research methodology, critical appraisal, Evidence-based practice, Leadership, Management, administration, and inter- professional collaboration, and lifelong learning and Reflection throughout the continuum from First year to Fourth year and internship.
