Abstract

Purpose: Professional awareness requires knowledge of the competencies of the profession, occupational laws and regulations, duties and responsibilities. Individual demand cannot always determine the profession of people. In the literature, level of professional awareness of senior students in physiotherapy and rehabilitation schools in Turkey has not been extensively assessed. The aim of the study was to evaluate level of professional awareness of senior grade students, and to compare professional awareness between the students who prefer the department on their willingness and the students who prefer the department unwillingly.
