About Me
[edit | edit source]

I am a Physical Therapist with a vision of "Standard Physical Therapy in India". Currently along the same visionary line, I am interested in exploring physical therapy education in India as education is the backbone of any profession. Project "Standard Physical Therapy Education" is already in its initial planning stages to explore level of physical therapy education in students across all colleges of India. With this project, we will be able to answer few of the unanswered issues with our education, which will provide us the base to develop strategies to improve our Physical Therapy skills. Project will be started with a pilot study in couple of months and then it will be administered in all Physical Therapy colleges of India. Long term goal is to take the Standard Physical Therapy Education Project to an International platform to explore education system of different countries and in turn enter the era of "Globalization of Physical Therapy".
