Yes physiotherapists can use a stethoscope especially in hospitals (ICU, cardiopulmonary) to listen to heart or lung sounds, check breathing or monitor vitals.

But it's not a daily tool like for physiotherapists. Their main focus is movement using their hands for muscles and joints instead making it a tool for situations.

Most of time physiotherapists are not allowed to give injections. Their responsibility is helping patients with exercises, hands on therapy and also treatments like heat or cold therapy.

But in some countries if they get extra training or special certificates they may be allowed to do certain things like dry needling where thin needles are put into muscles or tissues.

The duration of the Physiotherapy courses may vary based on different factors like the course level, whether the course is offline or online, or those pursued abroad. But generically speaking, a BPT course lasts up to 4 years. The fulfillment of the BPT course also requires the candidate to pursue a 6-month compulsory internship by the end of the course.

AIIMS does not offer Physiotherapy courses. While AIIMS is renowned for its medical programs and specialised healthcare training, it does not currently provide a degree or Diploma programme specifically in Physiotherapy. 

However, numerous other prestigious institutions in India offer Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Physiotherapy.
