Hi all

I am thinking of doing the physio national exam in Canada next year. Whilst I am waiting to pass my exams, will hospitals or other agencies recruit me as a physiotherapy assistant?

thanking you all

hi, in British Columbia, Canada you should be able to obtain a temporary licence, usually good for one year. within that time you will be expected to write the PNE, but the temp. license allows you to work as a physiotherapist. At least that's what they used to do, check with the College of Physical Therapists of B.C., www.cptbc.org or e-mail info@cptbc.org.
if it checks out, see the billboard, we have just posted a part time position. good luck!
