Fizioterapija

FZAB has started the implementation of higher vocational physiotherapy course at the first level in the academic year 2018-2019. It does not have a concession for the implementation of the study program, but it implements it as a full-time and part-time study program. The study process is carried out in Jesenice and in the dislocated unit in Ljubljana. The study program is conducted also by experts from practice with appropriate habilitation. Cabinets are adequately equipped, equipment and supplies of greater value are transferred from site to site. The study program is meaningfully upgraded and ensures vertical development of students' professional competencies. During this period, there have been only minor changes in individual subjects at the suggestion of a teacher or the students. Initiatives for change are given at the Chair of Physiotherapy and will be taken into account in the comprehensive analysis of studies after the completion of the study program for two generations, ie in 2022-2023. In view of the proclamation of the epidemic COVID -19 in the academic years 2019-2020 and 2020-2021, the FZAB adapted the implementation of the pedagogical process and conducted lectures and seminars in distance learning, as well as examinations, cabinet exercises and clinical training in contact with patients when the epidemiological situation allowed it. Students adapted to the requirements of the teaching institutions, were regularly tested and some even vaccinated. Clinical training takes place in health, social and other specialized institutions and is led by mentors who must meet certain requirements (education, professional experience, participation in a school for mentors). The mentors evaluate the acquired competences of the students according to well-defined criteria. Both students and college teachers needed the help of support services in implementing the pedagogical process through the online platform, and teachers increased the number of tutoring meetings for students. The quality of work and satisfaction of all those involved in the implementation of the study program is determined by the FZAB through a survey, and the results are published in the evaluation reports for each academic year. These findings should be communicated to all stakeholders through the members of individual FZAB bodies. FZAB will begin the full modernization of the study program after the completion of the training of two generations of students at the end of the academic year 2022-2023.
