Anybody got any thoughts on Physiotherapists returning to university to carry out a sports and medicine degree?Does any one think this would be beneficial to a physiotherapist in terms of the job opportunities following graduation?
Any input would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Hi
are you referring to the Sports and Exercise Medicine Master programme that is run at QMUL?
yep i am!!
The Centre for Sports and Exercise Medicine of Barts and The London, Queen Mary's School of Medicine and Dentistry, University of London offers a modular programme in sports and exercise medicine.
Well i am also interested in this course,
Have been working as a physiotherapist since qualifying?
I emailed the course leader regarding previous experience of a sporting nature and she stated it was not a requirement and that most people attending the course actually got their contacts and jobs through networking whilst actually on the course.
Hope this helps
yea thats the one i was thinking!!i have been working for the last few months as a physio in a private clinic!Did she say you dont need any experience to get on the course?do you think it would be good thing to do?!
Getting involved into the post graduation level courses definitely adds to your skills and increases your opportunities to get a better job. Sports medicine is a good field not only in terms of getting better knowledge database but also improving your differential diagnosis enhancing your clinical skills both in terms of assessment, diagnosis and making a better management plan while assessing the cases of your patients. So all that place your in a better position of being a good clinician physiotherapist opening the job markete and opportunities for you to practice as a physiotherapist. Good choice, keep it up.
