The knowledge and skills provided in physiotherapy and rehabilitation undergraduate education cannot fully meet the needs of intensive care physiotherapists when evaluated. Insufficient professional knowledge during undergraduate education, especially in the intensive care environment, can cause employment problems for physiotherapists. It is aimed with this program to train physiotherapists equipped with up-to-date knowledge and skills, to contribute to their professional practices, to gain competence in performing and monitoring appropriate physiotherapy and rehabilitation treatments in the field of intensive care, and to contribute to meeting the need for trained personnel in our country.
The medium of instruction is Turkish. To graduate, students must have completed at least ten courses, 30 credits, 60 ECTS, and a 30 ECTS semester project course. The training program includes clinical skills such as patient evaluation/monitoring and theoretical courses. Elective courses related to the fundamental and vocational courses specified in the program will be given by the relevant expert faculty members of our Department of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation. When necessary, a practical study will be conducted in the Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation Unit in the Faculty of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation and intensive care units of Hacettepe University Hospitals.
