Master of Physiotherapy (MPT) in Community Health is a two-year postgraduate program that emphasizes health promotion, disability prevention, and rehabilitation at the community level. The curriculum encompasses public health, epidemiology, and the integration of physiotherapy within primary healthcare systems.

The program includes ergonomic assessments, workplace health initiatives, and preventive physiotherapy targeting lifestyle-related conditions such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases.

Key competencies developed include home-based rehabilitation, disability management, women's health physiotherapy, and community-based rehabilitation (CBR) for conditions like stroke, cerebral palsy, and musculoskeletal disorders. The curriculum also emphasizes health promotion, patient education, and advocacy for accessible healthcare services.

Practical training is conducted in diverse settings, including rural and urban communities, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and rehabilitation centers, to enhance clinical skills.
