Rationale for the PhD Rehabilitation Sciences Degree Program:

Currently, many rehabilitation sciences research projects in the country suffer from a lack of high-quality research due to the scarcity of qualified researchers. This highlights a critical need to develop highly skilled researchers at the doctoral level in the field of rehabilitation sciences. Such an initiative will not only promote the professional growth of rehabilitation professionals but also enhance the quality of research in this crucial area.

As healthcare delivery systems evolve and our knowledge base expands, it becomes imperative for professionals in rehabilitation sciences to advance their education. This will enable them to take on roles as consultants, educators, researchers, advanced clinicians, and healthcare leaders. The Doctor of Philosophy in Rehabilitation Sciences degree program at Riphah addresses these needs with a curriculum designed to prepare students to become leading researchers and innovators in the profession.
