Future career prospects:
In India there is an immediate requirement for at least 1000 trained physicians and therapists to cater to the existing cases of RSI, MSD and Childhood Disabilities that we know of in various metropolitan cities. Currently, there is no structured training available in India for physicians and therapists in the management of these conditions.
If the performance of the trainee is satisfactory, a position at RECOUP or at various on-site clinics at top Organisations at Bangalore, Pune, New Delhi, Chennai, Kolkata, Hyderabad and other cities (being run by RECOUP) may be offered.
Selection of candidates for the course will be based on submission of detailed CV and personal interview.
The following course is under preparation and will be available later in 2009.
