Can a physiotherapist be called a doctor?

Hey everyone my name is Masud and in today’s video I’ll be sharing my view on weather a physiotherapist can be called a doctor?

Well to start I’d like to stay that it is very flattering to hear patients calling you doctor when you’re with them.

I remember when I was a physio student doing placements some patients would call you doctor and it was like hmm I like the sound of that!

But I did have to correct them because I wasn’t a doctor.

Having said that though physiotherapists can be called doctors if they have done some form of doctorate degree following their undergrad like in the US for instance, physios are called ‘Doctors’ and have the prefix Dr before their name.

If you haven’t done a doctorate I’m afraid you’re just a physiotherapist haha!

Which is still really amazing so don’t forget that.

Thanks for watching!
