No, online Rehabilitation courses cannot be used for clinical practice in India. Clinical practice in fields like Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy, and Speech Therapy requires practical, hands-on experience, which cannot be fully gained through online learning.
These professions demand direct patient interaction and practical training in a clinical setting, which is essential for developing the skills needed for effective care. Regulatory bodies, such as the Rehabilitation Council of India (RCI), require students to undergo in-person training and internships to be eligible for licensure and clinical practice.
