Doctor of Physcial Therapy

Department of Physical Therapy

The Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) program at Doctors Institute of Medical & Emerging Sciences (Doctorsimes) is designed for students who aim to build a strong career in Physical Therapy. Graduates will earn the title of "Doctor" and can professionally identify themselves as Physiotherapists. This professional degree equips students with advanced clinical skills and prepares them for rewarding careers in hospitals, rehabilitation centers, private clinics, teaching, and research institutions.

With the rising burden of musculoskeletal and neurological conditions, the demand for physiotherapists is increasing globally. Countries like USA, Canada, UK, Australia, and across South Asia have significant job markets for physiotherapists. In Pakistan, where only a few hundred physiotherapists serve a population of millions, this field offers vast potential and job security. The WHO recommends one physiotherapist per 10,000 population — a gap yet to be filled locally.


Career Opportunities

Graduates of the DPT program can pursue roles in:

  • Public and private sector hospitals
  • Rehabilitation and pain management centers
  • Academia and research institutes
  • Sports medicine and fitness centers
  • Community health programs
  • International healthcare settings (USA, UK, Canada, Australia)

There is also high potential for postgraduate research due to a shortage of PhD-level professionals in the field.


Program Goals

  • Provide patient education and rehabilitation care.
  • Develop strong interpersonal and communication skills.
  • Conduct and apply health-related research.
  • Identify and utilize appropriate healthcare resources.
  • Uphold professional ethics and collaborate effectively with healthcare teams.

Program Learning Outcomes

Graduates will be able to:

  • Apply clinical knowledge to deliver optimal physical therapy services.
  • Analyze scientific literature and apply evidence-based practices.
  • Communicate empathetically and effectively with patients and teams.
  • Design and manage personalized rehabilitation plans.
  • Engage in lifelong learning, ethical reflection, and self-assessment.
  • Conduct independent and collaborative clinical research.
