Hey! Nope, just the written component.

Hi Mohammad! Thanks for the kind words. The PTDI team is still running the courses. In fact, I know some people who just finished up in one of the recent cohorts. Send them a message on Instagram here: instagram.com/passthepce/ Hope this helps.

@@TheCanadianPhysioStudentI feel the same as we are not receiving any response for registering to the cohort. It’s been more than a month. I did email them and sent them message on instagram but haven’t received any response so far.

Hi there! Thank you so much for such a kind comment - I really appreciate it. The only other resource I used was my anatomy cue card deck. Other than that, it was all PTDI. There’s lots of overlap with my education at Queen’s, but it also filled in a few gaps that were important for my success on the exam.

Hi Divya. Yes, they have discontinued the clinical exam. You can find that information here: alliancept.org/taking-the-exam/exam-application-information/exam-overview/

Hi Divya. Yes, they have. You can find that information here: alliancept.org/taking-the-exam/exam-application-information/exam-overview/

Thanks for replying may i know then what are the other parameters on which an international physio can get licence after completing pce written exam

Primarily now that we don’t have the clinical component of pce what is the alternative after the written test ?

Incredible! Congratulations and welcome to the profession! Good luck at UofT.

Sounds great! Thank you!

Thank you!

You are welcome!

Hi Sweety. Thanks for the comment. This all depends on the type of learner you are. If you're someone who is more self-directed, self-practice is perhaps enough. On the other hand, if you're someone who needs a bit more structure, then a course/class is likely a very good option for you. Both work, you just have to find the best option for you. Hope this helps!

Hi Sehrish! Thanks for the comment. I'm glad to know that you found some value in this video. Great question! I think even with the gap, the bridging program would help to bridge that gap (no pun intended). If you're absolutely set on physiotherapy, then I say go for it with full force. Hope this helps.

It's just stressful. However, if you adequately prepare and ensure your nerves don't take over, you'll be fine.

Hi! Thanks for watching, I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the video. Good question. My advice is to check out CAPRs website for more information on this topic: alliancept.org/considering-canada/

Hi James! Thanks for the comment. Your experience sounds extensive! You can definitely get into PT school with a resume like yours. To convey this effectively in your apps, first look back on your experiences shadowing a PT and ask yourself what skills are important to be a PT. After doing that, think about if you've been able to hone those skills with your time in Diagnostic Imaging and your personal trainer background. Likely you have, because there are a lot of similarities between these 3 fields. Once you've figured that out, you need to talk about how these experiences will make you a good PT in the future.

@@TheCanadianPhysioStudent Thank you very much for your answer.

Hi Kate! Thanks for the comment. Here's a breakdown: - Private clinic - approx 4 hrs/wk during a few summers (Tues/Thurs 6-8 pm) - Hospital volunteer rehab assistant - approx 5 hrs/wk over the course of one summer - Work-study research assistant - approx 3-5 hrs/wk over the course of one summer - Student athletic trainer - this was a full-year thing during my 4th year, so anywhere between 10-20 hrs/wk I'd say - Coach - I did this over 3 summers, but it was only 1 straight week in each summer (always the first week of July of any given year) - Lecturer - I did this over 2 days in 2 days (four 40-min presentations on each of those days to make up 8 total) - Fitness instructor assistant - 1 hr per wk - Orientation week leader - all hours were accumulated during O-week, with occasional visits to my frosh throughout the school year Hope this helps!

Hi Lassa! Thank you for watching. Provided that you've taken all of the prerequisite courses required by McGill and your GPA is competitive for their program, then yes, absolutely you can apply to this program!

Hi! Good question. Check out this blog for more information: physioschool.ca/blog/whats-the-difference-between-a-pt-and-pta-in-canadian-healthcare/

@@TheCanadianPhysioStudent Thank you for this efficient article 🙏 🌹 It really helped me

You should! Thank you!

Hi Denica! Thanks for watching. I see your situation, and this is where things can definitely become confusing, but from my understanding of ORPAS’ explanation on their website… yes, this is likely what they’ll do in your case.

You can challenge the PCE prior to finishing your program. Myself and many of my classmates took the PCE (written) in July 2019, but we officially finished all requirements of the program in late August 2019 and had our graduation ceremony in November 2019.

@@TheCanadianPhysioStudent Thank you! Also, are you only able to write the PCE written test before you graduate and finish classes or can you also write the clinical section f the exam before you graduate and complete classes?

@@danielpersaud7714 No, you can’t take the PCE clinical before graduating. You have to first pass the written exam to challenge the clinical exam, and by the time you get your results for the written exam, school will be done by then.

Oh nvm I rewatched the video a few times, I missed the answer to my second question sorry about that

@@ttran5358 Thanks for watching! Sounds good. Did it clear up the confusion?

Yea it did! I’m just still unsure about my third question above regarding the spring courses during 2nd year

@@ttran5358 The spring courses prior to your 2nd year will not be grouped in with your 2nd year courses. If you had taken them between 2nd and 3rd year, then that would be a different story. Hope that helps out!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching! More people will be here come April.👍

Thanks, Hilary! I appreciate that. Good luck with your apps! If you’re looking for some extra tips, head over to my website PhysioSchool.ca. Vizsla’s are great dogs.😍 Ocea definitely stole the show, as always lmaooo!

Hi Anish! That’s great to hear. Congrats on passing.👏

Hi Hiba! Thanks for your comment. I appreciate you watching the video and subscribing to my channel. With regards to your questions... So this is how it'll work for you: - The course you took in between 3rd and 4th year (summer) will fill in that final credit of your 3rd year to make up for that pass/credit - The courses you took in between 2nd year and 3rd year (summer) will be added to your entire 2nd year GPA calculation - Because you're applying in 4th year, your second semester 4th year marks will not be taken into consideration, and therefore, the avg of your entire 2nd year will be used to fill in those gaps (as described in my video above) Hope that clears things up! If you're looking for more helpful resources on PT school apps, check out my website PhysioSchool.ca. Thanks again for watching!

Last 2

Just the last 2! However, if you watch the video in full, you'll see that if you apply in your 4th year, some of your second year marks will be taken into account as well.

It's unbelievable...

Hi Fatima! Great question. Those courses will be calculated separately as if they’re 2 distinct courses. Check out this link for more info: www.physicaltherapy.utoronto.ca/faq/upgrading-coursesgpa/

Hi Damian! Yes, absolutely. I know many people who do. As long as you have a degree in physiotherapy, you’re good to work pretty much anywhere in Canada.

@@TheCanadianPhysioStudent Thanks Man! Seems like a cool job and I'm very interested in sport rehab and sport physiotherapy and would love an experience in Canada!

Hi Eisha! Thank you so much. Glad you enjoyed the video and I'm happy to hear it was inspiring for you.

Yup, I know a bunch of people in their clinical course right now.

Hi there! Thanks for the comment. You may find this page helpful: www.alliancept.org/considering-canada/

Hi! Thanks for watching. Great question. You can find your answer here: physiotherapy.ca/working-canada 😄

🤣🤣🤣

For the most part, yes. But as you saw in the above video, they may take 2nd year courses as well depending on when you apply.

Thanks! Glad you found it helpful. Unfortunately this is the only video I will be doing for the exam. If you go to 5:44 in the video, you'll hear me say, "do you feel confident doing 3 sets of 10 repetitions every day?" so I made sure to include that haha. As per the white coat, do whatever CAPR advises you. They should have their document on test day requirements on their website. Hope that helps.

Hahah so true. I've had this tendency my whole life (especially coming from a Brazilian and Italian family), but it's been amplified ever since starting my career as a physiotherapist. Thanks for watching, Byron!

@@TheCanadianPhysioStudent I've seen my entire class do it😂. It's awesome watching your journey, keep it up 🙌🙌
