Department of Physical and Occupational Therapy

Introduction

The department of Physical therapy was established in the academic year of 2010-2011 under a collaboration between HSUM, Mongolia and Gunma University, Japan. Under the collaboration, the department rolled out a collaborative program to prepare physical and occupational therapists in line with the international standard in the Health Sector of Mongolia. The department has successfully been implementing a range of exchange programs to benefit both academics and students in collaboration with international universities from Japan, South Korea and the United States of America. In addition to preparing physical and occupational therapists, the department also involves lecturers who teach in the field of traditional medicine and physical education.
Under the collaborative program, we have been preparing physical and occupational therapists with bachelor degrees at the undergraduate level since the department was established. Additionally, we are planning to commence a new program to prepare traditional medicine nurses with diploma degrees from 2021.The department involves 8 lecturers with master degrees.

Vision: 
The department aims to prepare competitive health professionals who can implement best practice through applying the best available evidence.
