Physiotherapy students are attached to health care organisations for clinical placement to allow them to integrate clinical experiences with their academic studies. Clinical attachments are held both during the semestral period as well as the vacation period.

Student physiotherapists complete a minimum of 1200 hours of clinical attachment during their three year of studies. In year 1, students undergo a two-week block of clinical attachment. Beginning year 2 to year 3, the clinical attachment increases to six blocks with duration varying from three to five weeks per block.
During each clinical attachment, students are under the supervision of a qualified and experience clinician. It is imperative that students have hands-on practice to a variety of clients and in various areas of physiotherapy practice. Such supervision and guidance is important as it prepares the students for professional practice after they graduate.

Clinical Placement schedule/roster can be accessed from myNYP Portal
