Social - CPD Awareness

CPD Education in India is unregulated practice and is not governed by any state council or any association or organization associated with the CPD educational standards in India.

CPD stands for Continued Professional Development, which is mandatory in most of the developed countries,  to upgrade the professional skills of medical professionals in form of CME units.

However, in India, due to negligence and failure of governing bodies to regulate the educational standards of CPD courses, most of the academies, institutes and clinics starts unethical and unauthorized practice in the form of hosting random courses without having proper qualification or certificates, mandate for them to teach specific hands on techniques.

such practices deliver poor quality of education to physiotherapy students and practitioners, leading to endangerment of patient safety and overall degrading the profession.  

HPE UK team identifies such courses and unauthorized practices, and aims to create awareness among physiotherapy students and practitioners in and around India.

with our 3 yrs of intensive research on such unauthorized courses and resource person, here is the list of institute or academy which are involved in such unethical practice. the list has been forwarded to council for further action against them.

1. Key Physio academy - Dr Vivek Bhanushali - Kinesio taping course taught under clinical and sports taping. Dr. Vivek is not a certified practitioner of the taping, but intent to teach the technique in unethical manner.

2. Dr. Piyush Jain / Mayank Pushkar / Rais Rizvi / Cortex sports therpy - rishabh arora (these instructor over the period of 5 - 6yrs has been teaching all wrong technique to the students which was well exposed by our team.

3. Shubhanjan das for physilife. 

students in India are requested to avoid such courses which are presented to them in a distorted manner filled with misinformation about the topic.

for students awareness, our team member has made couple of video exposing them and their knowledge. 

our aim of exposing them and repeated efforts to regulate such practice, we are glad that IAP - prime organization to cater physio profession release the guidelines about the resource person.

kindly check the guidelines issue by IAP and check the credential of the resource person before taking any CPD courses especially in India.
