Abstract
Pediatric physical therapy is a branch of physical therapy that deals with various health issues affecting medical disorders in children. To align with the society’s demands, the Physical Therapy Department of St. Dominic College of Asia has evolved its educational curriculum. Through this, the internship program is an act of imparting, improving or updating knowledge and skills of students which they learn in the form of theory. 11 interns (respondents) participated and answered the online survey form to give us a hint if there is a huge impact of adding a specialized course such as Pediatric PT in BSPT curriculum in their clinical training. Physical therapists handling or specializing in children may benefit from the use of evidence-informed practice to provide any of the following services as part of their goal-directed plan of care.
