COMPT has launched a Physiotherapy BSc (Hons) Programme to provide the Malawi health sector physiotherapists with knowledge, skills and relevant competencies to provide rehabilitation services, supervise diploma level technicians and manage district and central hospital rehabilitation services. The course will produce graduates to form a pool of students for further training into MSc and PhD programmes.  

The goals of this program include providing evidence-based continuing professional development courses for academicians and clinicians to improve teaching, clinical reasoning and/or clinical practice in the areas of: foundational sciences, cardiovascular and respiratory physiotherapy, integumentary physiotherapy, musculoskeletal physiotherapy, neuromuscular physiotherapy, obstetrical-gynecological physiotherapy and pediatric physiotherapy. In addition, volunteers may also assist with the education of the BcS students.

Volunteers for this program may be retired or in active practice with a current license. All areas of expertise are accepted and prior teaching/training experience is preferred. Volunteers will be required to submit their CV and a letter detailing the content they are qualified to teach. Volunteers involved in clinical teaching and training may be required to complete registration with the Malawi Medical Council. Those volunteers teaching non-clinical courses will not be required to complete this registration. Standard assignments are 4 weeks, though 2 week assignments may be considered depending on the course.
