Suresh Brahmkumar Bhatt college of Physiotherapy was founded in 1999 with capacity of 30 annual admissions, later increased to 50 from 2005. It is the first Self financed college to be opened in Gujarat.The college came into being with pious & generous donation of Rs. 51 Lakhs from Late Shri Brahmkumar Bhatt from his M P Grant and Sadbhavna Charitable Trust.The college was inaugurated in 1999 by Justice of High Court Shri K G BalKrishnan and the ceremony was presided over by Mayor Shri MalinibenAtit, Shri BrahmkumarBhatt,  Shri Surendra Patel and Commissioner Shri K KKailashnathan.

Continuing and enhancing the physiotherapy knowledge, the institute successfully began Post-Graduate course in physiotherapy in 2006 with specialities like Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy, Neuromuscular Physiotherapy, Cardiopulmonary Physiotherapy and Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation.Ph.D program commenced in 2012.

Right from its inception the college is fortunate to have the services of well-qualified and dedicated teachers. For a college, more important than the building is the quality of teachers. It is not an exaggeration to say that to a very great extent it was the teachers who attracted the best among the bright students to this college for pursuing their Physiotherapy studies. The twin combination of inherent brilliance of students and guidance and advice of the dedicated teachers has brought about the best result. The prestige of the college has increased year by year. Many dedicated teachers, some of whom have resigned, have contributed to the progress of this institute.

The students are the heart of the college and it is they who keep the college and campus pulsating with life and vigour.

A.M.C. Medical Education Trust has taken up the responsibility of medical education since 2008. For taking up this function the people of city of Ahmedabad in general and the medical persons in particular owe a lot of gratitude to the corporation because even though Para Medical education is not one of the compulsory functions of the corporation but for this noble gesture, hundreds of physio’s would have been deprived of their chance to pursue Physiotherapy studies and obtain Physiotherapy degrees. Since 2008, administration of the college is managed by AMC Medical education trust.
