To Become a Physiotherapist?

Hey, i am thinking about becoming a physiotherapist. I am 15 and want someone to answer these questions for me:

1. I am thinking of taking Maths B, Biological Science, Physics, and some other subject, are these good subjects for this profession?

2. What O.P is needed to enter a Physiotherapy course in University?

3. What is the difference between having a bachelor in Physiotherapy and a masters or doctorette in Physiotherapy? Like raised pay or something like that?

4. Is there a Physiotherapy school i would have to go to get my licence as a physio? If so, how ling is the school?

Thanks heaps, please answer.

Re: To Become a Physiotherapist?

Hi I'm probably not really the right person to answer your questions but I'm also considering going to physiotherapy (after being an engineer for 6 years), so hopefully this helps:

1. i believe Maths, physics and biology would give you good fundamentals

2. not too sure, it depends on each individual university. i suggest you check them out here: Australian Physiotherapy Association - Australian Schools of Physiotherapy

3. when you do a masters/pHd, you become more specialised in a certain area. e.g. sports physio

4. when you complete your degree in physio, i think you need to register with the Australian Physiotherapy Association. you should find quite a lot of info here:
Australian Physiotherapy Association - Physiotherapy & Health
