Hello.
I am the head of the Department of Physical Therapy.
The Department of Physical Therapy is responsible for the evaluation, rehabilitation, and education of patients with physical dysfunction, and trains physical therapists who contribute to disease prevention and health promotion of community residents.
Recently, due to the development of medical science and the extension of life expectancy, the number of people with various adult diseases and geriatric chronic diseases is increasing, and as the number of people with physical disabilities due to industrial accidents, traffic accidents, and sports injuries increases, the demand for physical function recovery is increasing. Additionally, as the need for disease prevention and health promotion increases among healthy individuals, the demand for physical therapist personnel is expected to increase.
The Department of Physical Therapy will work harder to provide quality education so that students can achieve their vision and dreams.
Thank you.
