View the client holistically and individually.

A physiotherapist essentially treats people who are limited in their mobility. Physiotherapists also work in the fields of internal medicine, neurology/psychiatry, pediatrics, geriatrics and gynecology. Another focus is on prevention and health promotion. The aim here is to prevent diseases such as chronic diseases, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus, lung diseases and diseases of the musculoskeletal system. Physiotherapists are employed in outpatient, day-care and inpatient settings.

During your training at the Academy of Health, you will learn how to create a holistic diagnosis, evaluate and interpret it, draw up an individual treatment plan and carry out physiotherapy measures with the patient. In addition to action competence (diagnosis and treatment techniques), the focus is also on developing cognitive skills (e.g. knowledge of anatomy and physiology for functional thinking and action on the patient), communication skills (e.g. anamnesis and consultations) and personal skills (e.g. self-reflection and self-organization).

Due to the demand for skilled workers in physiotherapy of 24.000 therapists by 2030, the profession of physiotherapist is a profession with a future.

Physiotherapist

The training concept of the 3 learning locations

We are convinced that professionals who want to work in the healthcare sector must have cross-functional and cross-sector thinking, coupled with a professional attitude. The academy's didactic concept, learning at three learning locations, interprofessional teaching and learning arrangements and interaction with new technologies are the academy's future-oriented paths, together with its practice partners from the healthcare sector.

Learning Place THEORY – Professional skills and competencies build on knowledge

  • Lectures and case-based seminars convey the technical fundamentals and contexts of the respective profession. Interprofessional events broaden your own professional perspective and understanding of other professional groups in the healthcare sector.
  • Independent and individual learning is made possible, among other things, through the use of new media.

Learning location TRAINING & TRANSFER (LTT) – Practice and training in a protected space

  • In the Training & Transfer learning area, participants should train and consolidate skills and abilities in a setting that is as authentic as possible. Unlike in real working life, mistakes do not have any serious consequences, but rather play an important role in the learning process. Learning with and from one another also plays an important role in this area.
  • The teachers take on the role of coaches in this area. The individual prior knowledge and experience of the participants are actively integrated and the content is tailored accordingly. The learning process is supported and accompanied by intensive reflection on learning progress.

Learning Place PRAXIS – Learning under Real Conditions

  • Professional practice completes the training process with specific situations and tasks. Depending on the level of training, there are targeted practical phases in which the participants can test and further develop the knowledge, skills and attitudes they have learned.
  • The training participants are expertly guided and accompanied by staff in the practice facilities and teachers at the academy.
  • Collected experiences and events serve as a starting point for the further professional learning process in the theory and LTT learning areas and are taken up in the courses and appropriately taken into account.
  • The practical learning takes place in inpatient, outpatient and rehabilitative facilities of the healthcare industry that cooperate with the Academy of Health.
