Ph.D. in Cardiorespiratory Pulmonary Physiotherapy is a research-focused program that investigates the rehabilitation of individuals with respiratory and cardiovascular conditions, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, heart failure, and pulmonary fibrosis. Typically lasting 3-5 years, the program includes coursework in respiratory physiology, cardiopulmonary pathophysiology, exercise science, and advanced therapeutic techniques, followed by original research. Candidates explore topics like pulmonary rehabilitation, ventilation strategies, exercise prescription, and innovations in respiratory care. Graduates often pursue careers in academia, research institutions, or clinical settings, contributing to advancements in therapeutic approaches and improving patient outcomes in cardiorespiratory health.
