UNDERGRADUATE PRIZES AND AWARDS

Physical Therapy The School of Physical Therapy was founded in 1972 initially as a government entity and celebrated its 50 th year Anniversary in 2022. In August 2006 the School was fully incor- porated into the Faculty of Medical Sciences as a section within the Department of Basic Medical Sciences.

In September, 2022 the Section of Physical Therapy had events which included their Open Day and a seminar with Professor Kathleen Norman from Queens University in Canada as their guest speaker delivering a scintillating lecture on Physical Therapy. This Unit continues to produce graduates that serve our many medical facilities in the island. There are plans to move their offerings from the Bachelor to a Doctor of Physical Therapy.
