Hello,

Lateral entry into a Bachelor of Physiotherapy (BPT) program after completing an Orthopaedic Technician course depends on the university and its eligibility criteria.

In general:

Most BPT programs do not offer direct lateral entry from paramedical diploma courses like Orthopaedic Technician.

You may need to start from the first year of BPT, as it is a full-fledged medical degree with a structured curriculum.

Some universities may offer credit exemptions or bridge courses, but this is rare.
