Department of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation

I am a 4th-year student in the Department of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation at Yuksek Ihtisas University. My name is Zelal Demiroğlu. Department of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation is located within the Faculty of Health Sciences. It is located in Balgat Campus. Generally, we begin with the basic lessons in the 1st year. Beginning with Physiology and Anatomy courses, we grasp the basics of exercise in the 2nd year, and in the years 3 and 4, we learn everything related to physical therapy and physiotherapy. We have a Basic Exercise Laboratory, a laboratory for electrotherapy agents, a Healthy Life Laboratory and a Manual Therapy Laboratory. We have 2 internship practices in our department. We have a summer internship in the second year and clinical practice in the fourth year. In clinical practice, it is an internship, in which we can observe and apply all the illnesses we have learned for 4 years. Upon graduation, Physiotherapists take jobs in various places such as hospitals and wellness centres. Since we study all areas from paediatrics to neurology, from sports to electrotherapy, from manual therapy to women's health, we work in various places in these fields. The main reason why I chose this department is my great desire to be a physiotherapist since I was little. I followed my dreams. The reason why I chose Yuksek Ihtisas University is the perfect location of the faculty, being close to the city centre and the expert academic staff as much as I found out based on my research. Among the opportunities offered in my department are the internships I am serving as it enables me to consolidate all the information I learned at school. For this reason, I benefited from the internship program the most. After graduation, I want to be a specialist, competent physiotherapist. In this sense, I will do everything I can. My biggest advice to the candidates who will prefer Yuksek Ihtisas University is that they should work hard to study at the Faculty of Health Sciences. I also recommend that you take advantage of all the opportunities the school offers. I wish success to all candidates who would prefer Yuksek Ihtisas University, Faculty of Health Sciences, Department of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation.
