It gives me immense pleasure to welcome you to the Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) program at Shahida Islam College of Rehabilitation Sciences (SICRS). Established in 2018, SICRS is committed to producing competent, compassionate, and ethically responsible physical therapists who contribute meaningfully to society and work collaboratively with other healthcare professionals to deliver quality patient care.

Physical Therapy is one of the fastest-growing healthcare professions, playing a vital role in the prevention, assessment, treatment, and rehabilitation of individuals with musculoskeletal, neurological, cardiopulmonary, and other movement-related disorders. As the demand for rehabilitation services continues to grow, the need for well-trained and skilled physical therapists has never been greater.

As Principal of SICRS, I am proud to lead an institution that provides a supportive and academically enriching environment where students are encouraged to excel professionally, ethically, and personally. Our experienced faculty, modern teaching methodologies, and strong emphasis on clinical excellence ensure that our graduates are well prepared to meet the evolving challenges of healthcare.

Being a constituent college of Shahida Islam Medical Complex is one of our greatest strengths. Students benefit from extensive clinical exposure at the 650-bedded Shahida Islam Teaching Hospital, where they receive supervised hands-on training across a wide range of medical and surgical specialties. This integrated learning environment enables our students to bridge the gap between classroom knowledge and clinical practice while developing confidence and professional competence.

At SICRS, we are committed to nurturing future physical therapists who possess not only sound clinical knowledge and practical skills but also integrity, empathy, and a lifelong commitment to learning and patient care.

I invite you to become a part of SICRS and look forward to supporting you throughout your journey toward a rewarding and fulfilling professional career.
