THE ROAD TO

Excellence

The mission of the School of Physiotherapy is to train autonomous physiotherapists who base their ethical, investigative, and professional actions on the construction and appropriation of knowledge, critical and reflective thinking, tolerance, and responsibility. These qualities enable them to contribute to the improvement of the quality of life of individuals and communities through the prevention of movement disorders, enablement, recovery, and optimization of functional capacity, thus promoting biological, psychological, and social development.

The mission is grounded in the human qualities of its members and their commitment to the institution and society, as well as the dialogical and scientific pedagogical attitude of its faculty.
