Medical Rehabilitation is one of the most lucrative courses in Nigeria that is worth studying. The course is also known as physiotherapy.
Though it may not be as common as Nursing or Medicine, it is a fast-growing profession with many opportunities in the health sector.
Medical Rehabilitation as a course or profession is regulated by the Medical Rehabilitation Therapists Board of Nigeria (MRTB), which is responsible for the accreditation and regulation of professionals.
Only twenty (20) universities are currently accredited by the MRTB to offer Physiotherapy. Applying to either of these schools is necessary to get your license after your academic training.
For this reason, I have decided to compile a list of these schools. So, let me know in the comment if you have any questions or need further clarification.
