Abstract
Objective: The purpose of our study was to analyze and reveal the similarities and differences between the curriculums of the physical therapy and rehabilitation (PTR) faculty departments/colleges (FD/C) in foundation and state universities in Turkey. Methods: The student quotas and curriculums of PTR FD/Cs in foundation (Group 1) and state (Group 2) universities were reached. The number of FD/Cs and their student quotas were calculated. Curriculum parameters were investigated from the FD/Cs official websites and compared between groups. Results: 64 universities were found to get permission to give PTR education, and 46 of these obtained student quotas in the 2014-2015 academic year. Curriculums of 41 out of 46 FD/Cs (89.1%) were reached from their websites. The only statistically significant difference was found in student quotas (z=-3.422; p< 0.01), whereas no differences were found in other curriculum parameters between the groups (p> 0.05). Conclusion: As a conclusion, the curriculums of the FD/C in foundation and state universities in Turkey were determined to show compliance with each other and with other countries.
