As some people already know that Bmc announced DPT program for students in Baluchistan recently. Before giving any comment on it we would like to clarify that we neither have anything personal against any person nor do we have any reservations against BMC as a medical institute. What we do have is however, Deep concerns regarding the future of Physiotherapy and young physiotherapists under such arrangements as what BMC has to offer. Hear us Out!
There are a number of problems starting from,
1- No seats for the required faculty were published/displayed/advertised anywhere. Everything was decided behind closed doors by some unfortunate feudal mindsets. Yet again, leaving young and local physiotherapists without any opportunity which is shameful. Such unprofessional behavior is untolerable.
2- The students of DPT in University of Balochistan and post graduates are already concerned about little to NO job opportunities in Baluchistan, introducing DPT in an institution like BMC will naturally demerit UoB students under these tough circumstances. We are talking about the future of 1500+ students.
3- No HEC criteria was met while setting up DPT in BMC ignoring all of the major requirements for this department, some of these include:
° No separate department for DPT
° No prior public announcements for the post of Ast. Professor/s or the Principal.
° The alleged principal is already serving as HoD at another govt. Setup/ hospital.
° The alleged principal Does not by any means qualify for this position.
Some people are simple misusing their positions to high jack this field and we are deeply saddened and shocked by the lack of inspection and research by the higher authorities before making it official.
Therefore, we physio community condemn this action and demand it's immediate cancellation. If not, then we will arrange heavy strikes around the city against this fraud.
