Mentors guiding students in practical exercises, enabling them to integrate theory and practice, applying their skills in the national licensing examination
The graduates' excellent performance in their first attempt at the national licensing examination was attributed to their efforts during their university studies. The department provided intensive exam preparation courses, online practice access to the examination question bank, and simulated official exam formats. Additionally, students had access to specialized classrooms where they could practice in a high-quality environment, combining theory and practice effectively.
This year, the national licensing examination for physical therapists was held at Asia University, eliminating the need for students to travel and allowing them to take the exam in a familiar environment. Many students could check their preliminary results immediately after the exam, reducing anxiety and providing a rewarding experience after their hard work at Asia University.
The Department of Physical Therapy aims to cultivate physical therapists with "health power," "care power," "innovation power," and "excellence power." In addition to the four main subjects (neurological physical therapy, musculoskeletal physical therapy, pediatric physical therapy, and cardiopulmonary physical therapy), students can choose specialized programs such as "long-term care management" or "rehabilitation technology innovation." After passing the national licensing examination, graduates can work in hospitals, special education, long-term care, social welfare organizations, or become researchers in assistive rehabilitation technology and sports protection officers. Many students aspire to establish their own physical therapy clinics or innovative companies in rehabilitation technology products. Graduates can seamlessly transition into the job market, with starting salaries of at least 50,000 TWD per month, reflecting the broad career prospects in the field.
