We made an inquiry about the development of the training of the physical therapist and the working conditions of the graduates of Kochi Institute of Rehabilitation. The good points of the training can be seen in the increase of applicants for the entrance andthe high rate of passing the state license test. On the other hand, it is desirable to find a way to stop the increasing number of students who fail in the test and stay in the same grade. As for the working conditions of the graduates, most of them work in private hospitals or in social welfare facilites. They don't seem to be satisfied with their salaries and fringe benefits in their study and training. The best way for the training school to go on is not by training in the profession, but it should change its character and become like a college and it should stress on the need to study.
