Abstract: The curriculum for physiotherapy education in a few nations faces challenges that prevent it from being optimally aligned with contemporary healthcare needs. This discussion aims to identify these issues and propose solutions to improve the efficiency and relevance of the curriculum in India. The revised Bachelor of Physiotherapy syllabus offers a comprehensive and structured curriculum that encompasses foundational sciences, clinical knowledge, research skills, and interdisciplinary subjects. Moreover, incorporating practical components, involving physiotherapist teachers, and prioritizing speciality and research at the master's level, the proposed syllabi aim to equip students with the necessary knowledge and skills to excel in the field.
