Examination Methods

The achievement of the skills required for admission to the Professional Examination is evaluated by a Commission composed of a Coordinator and at least two professors (MED / 48) and is divided into a written test and a practical test.
The written test will assess the student's ability to identify structural and functional impairments, limitations of activity and participation restrictions in relation to environmental and personal factors (ICF) in a patient (clinical case study). It will also evaluate the student's ability to conduct a clinical reasoning to define a functional diagnosis, identify physiotherapy problems, define goals, plan the treatment and evaluate the outcomes achieved.
In the practical test, with a simulated patient with complex pathology, the student must demonstrate that he has acquired the core professional skills in care and rehabilitation, prevention, education, communication and reporting, professional responsibility, management, training and self-education, efficacy - based tests.

Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), who intend to request the adaptation of the exam, must follow the instructions given HERE
