Yes she has too (and i believe any of your children over 18, would need to confirm the latter though)

Hi DP, as far as Physio jobs go, there's more than enough to go around. The major challenge is the exam process. The credentialing process used to be a never ending nightmare, but thankfully, they appear to have streamlined the process. Once you scale over the exams hurdles, it's up to you how far and high you can take your career.

What stage are you with the credentialing/exam process?

9j,
I have been given told to go and write the written component before April 2015. Is there any way people prepare, maybe a preparatory group or something, though I intend to apply to UBC for their online preparatory classes three months before I sit for the exams. How far have you gone?

DP.

Hi DP,

The UBC program is a good idea. The only advise I will give is you will need to have covered some personal reading before starting the program. The program itself doesn't teach you PT from the scratch but it is valuable in developing exam skills and familiarizing you with the Canadian exam context.

I don't know if there's any fool-proof approach to the exam but I'll advice you incorporate the following into any approach you may be using:

1) Be sure you are familiar with the Alliance's exam blueprint You can download it from the website. This gives you a picture of the content areas where the Alliance questions are drawn from and also areas that are not covered by the exam, so you don't waste your time studying things that won't be examined.

2) Reflect on the depth of your PT training and identify the potential deficient areas. I don't know where you trained in 9ja, but to be candid must of our training in 9ja are quite shallow compared to the depth they require you to go here. For example if your depth of anatomy is weak, you may want to spend some times brushing that up. Same applies to other areas. Remember this exams tests your ability to apply these fundamental knowledge, so don't ignore it.

3) Lay your hands on relevant books and review materials if you haven't done so. What books you study and to what extent really depends on your own awareness of your current depth of knowledge but in general these books will be of help:

A) Physical Rehabilitation by O'Sullivan & Schmitz (Big Red book) - Good for general knowledge about principle and process of PT practice, assessment principles and some conditions
B) Clinical orthopaedics by Magee - This along with the next book below should be your bibles for Musculoskeletal (orthopaedics)
C) Therapeutic Exercises by Colby & Kisner - Principle and in-depth analysis of treatment techniques. Use this with Magee and you should have the basis covered for MSK. It is also good for some exercise protocol for Neuro and cardio-respiratory conditions.
D) Exam Review Books - There are 2 books I will recommend for exam oriented review. But let me advise that these books will be of maximal benefit if your foundation knowledge are up to date. They are review books and they offer opportunity to practice 'sample' questions but without adequate background knowledge you may not get the maximal benefit from the books. It is what you want to use close to the exam after studying most of your materials above. (i) - NPTE Exam Review Guide by O'Sullivan (ii) - Score Builders by Scott Giles. You may also want to know that these review books as useful as they may be may not give you the full picture of the Canadian exam pattern. In my opinion, the pattern of the Canadian MCQs are slightly different from the U.S exam in that the Canadian case scenarios are slightly longer and the proportional focus and percentage of each practice areas e.g Neuro, MSK etc are different in the 2 exams. Unfortunately the Canadians haven't developed their own review books so everyone has to make do with the U.S format for now. The Alliance website has some sample questions that will give you a bit of a flavour of what the Canadian case scenario looks like.

I hope you find this helpful.

Hi Eni,

I'll advice that you contact the Alliance and notify them of your situation. It used to be that you would have to pay for a file review. It is usually faster and cheaper than standard credentialing process. With the new streamlined process, I think it should even be faster now. So give the Alliance a call or send them an email. They'll be able to explain the necessary steps in details.

All the best.
