using the prefix Dr. infront of the name of a bachelor of physiotherapy is to confuse the layman public and exploit. you may call yourself physiotherapist not a physician. if it is the given rights to prescribe medicine is considered to be as a doctor, then a pharmacist is also can be called doctor. ofcourse if you hold a Phd then you can be called doctorate and add Dr prefix. BPT can be called physiotherapist and not doctor

Dear Vakeel, Physiotherapists are Doctors and hence they can use the prefix Dr. infront of their name. I sm a Physiotherapy graduate and I have the prefix Dr. in fron of my name. The Indian Association of Physiotherapists (IAP) has released a notification regarding this. However, you need to register yourself with IAP after the completion of your course. Then you can add MIAP after B.P.T degree.
