The purpose of implementing the Undergraduate Course in Physical Therapy at the Ribeirão Preto Medical School (FMRP) stood on the need to establish a training center for highly qualified personnel to ensure that, in the future, USP could also be a reference in the area of Rehabilitation.
As the group evolved and the interest in collaborating in the activities to implement an undergraduate course increased, we formed a solid group aiming at the single objective of implementing an outstanding undergraduate program in Physical Therapy.
The group experience in teaching, research, fundraising, coordination of undergraduate and graduate courses was the motivation to propose a Graduate Program in 2011.
Therefore, in response to the FMRP challenge of “implementing centers of excellence, where research and innovative thinking could be developed”, the Graduate Program in Rehabilitation and Functional Performance was founded in March 2012.
