Abstract: This observational study assesses the level of entrepreneurial awareness among physiotherapy students in Gujarat and evaluates the demand for integrating entrepreneurship education into their academic curriculum. Using a validated 22-item questionnaire, responses were collected from 501 students across multiple institutions. Results show that while a majority express interest in entrepreneurship, many lack formal exposure to essential business, legal, and financial knowledge. Nearly half of the participants come from business-involved families, further suggesting a receptive environment for entrepreneurial initiatives. The findings emphasize the need for structured entrepreneurship development programs within physiotherapy education to foster innovation and self-reliance.
