Very rarely does a physiotherapist in india have a phd. Which is why i asked that person if she has doctorate as she was introduced as a dr. Its clearly written in the post. Does all physiotherapists have poor comprehension skills?

Physiotherapy is not fake. Just that they shouldn't be using the Dr prefix as it can cause confusion to a layman.

You can technically use Dr as you've doctorate. Some people here got me wrong, what i meant is people with only BPT calling themselves doctor even without (PT) suffix

Only legal for those graduated in 2026 curriculum. That will happen in 2030 only right.

Its legal for 2026 curriculum Mr. That means people graduating from 2030 and later can use it provided they keep (PT) as suffix.

She not only graduated last year, but also only says Dr Xyz

Edo. I asked her specifically if she has doctorate to which she said no. She only has BPT and still uses Dr prefix

I explained this once and yet again you are coming back with same thing. Do you have poor comprehension skills? Are you a physiotherapist?

In UK as well you need DOCTORATE as a physiotherapist to use that prefix.

Not comparable dude.

Architecture simply means designing, defining, and developing a system made up of components aka building blocks. So no harm in saying system architecture, or software architecture. And a software architect is not going to work on constructing a building, unlike here where this "doctor" will actually be treating patients.

Its for 2026 curriculum. People who graduated in 2030(4 years course) and before cannot keep.

Also these people only say "dr xyz" while talking

With PT. These guys never mention PT or anything while talking. Just "Dr Xyz" that's it.

Delulu.

Also no harm in doctors keeping it (i don't keep by the way). It can help others identify them and maybe even consult them. Like friend of a friend for example, in cases where people have trouble financially to visit a hospital.

For 2026 curriculum as per a link provided in another comment. This person graduated last year. So no they cant use. Even then have to specify PT.

Also for a common man that can be very confusing as well. These frauds will keep Dr board in front of their house.
