Lokman Hekim University Faculty of Health Sciences, Department of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation has decided to apply for accreditation to the Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Education Programs Evaluation and Accreditation Association (FTR-AD) at the beginning of 2024. In line with the decision taken at the Department Academic Board Meeting, a “Quality and Accreditation Committee” was established with the participation of all of our department academic staff, graduate physiotherapists and volunteers from our students to work under the “Department Strategic Plan and Quality Commission”.
On January 31, 2024, a letter of intent was submitted to FTR-AD and on March 1, 2024, our letter of intent was responded positively. The committee prepared a self-evaluation report consisting of “Educational Goals and Objectives”, “Structure and Content of the Education Program”, “Program Qualifications”, “Students”, “Program Evaluation”, “Instructors”, “Infrastructure and Facilities”, “Management Structure”, “Social Contribution” and “Continuous Renewal and Development” and submitted it to the association.
Then, a site visit was made to our University by the FTR-AD evaluation team on December 1-3, 2024. After the visit, the evaluation processes of the evaluation team and the executive boards of FTR-AD were completed and our Department of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation received five-year accreditation on March 21, 2025.
This result shows that our department is a structure that has national and international quality standards in physiotherapy education and continuously improves and develops itself according to the requirements of the period.

Our department, with its competent and competent academic staff who have a good command of quality processes, continues its quality journey with determination.
