Hi aspirant,

  • BPT that is Bachelors of Physiotherapy is an under graduate degree of 4.5 years. It is related to physical movements of the body. But  honestly speaking Physiotherapy Bachelor degree courses cannot use title 'Dr'.


  • However some of the graduates use 'Dr' but they also add or suffix the abbreviation PT  which clarifies that they are BPT graduates.

They are eligible to give paid services but cannot be addressed as DOCTORS.

Hope that helps.
