Background

ITS College of Health and Wellness Sciences in Greater Noida was established in 2021 with the idea of creating skilled professionals in the health care sector. The institute is affiliated to Atal Bihari Vajpayee Medical University, Lucknow and UP State Medical Faculty.

Department of Physiotherapy offers one programme, BPT, which is a 4-year undergraduate programme that deals with the science of physical movement. The course also highlights the importance of six months of mandatory clinical internship.

As per the World Health Organization, rehabilitation is included as a part of comprehensive health service delivery model. A large number of patient populations affected with disorders of joints, muscles, bones, brain, nerves and certain cardiopulmonary conditions essentially require long-term physiotherapy support.

The aim of this programme is to create quality human resources in this field of health care so that we can meet the growing needs of our society with increased life expectancy of individuals. Physiotherapy adds quality to the lives of subjects which, in today's scenario, can be of any age frame.

The Institute has prepared certain academic policies for running these courses in the field of Physiotherapy, which are as below.
