How to Get Into Physio School in Canada (High School - Undergraduate - PT school)

[@anoichii]

I am currently in my 3rd year in ScHK at uOttawa, this video is the one that relates to me the most. Will be coming back to it OFTEN in the next year.

i'm take the ib rn to on my way becoming a physiotherapist. Ur channel is really an inspiration for me to continue my studies!!

[@aphysionamedjonah]

Wow, I am so happy to hear that! I wish you the best of luck in the ib program (it can be quite the challenge at times), and hope that you continue to find things you're interested in/passionate about as you continue in your studies :)

wait so is it your gpa the whole 4 years or just 4th year like high school

[@aphysionamedjonah]

Good question, the answer is it sort of depends. There's a cGPA that's cumulative GPA, and it just represents your GPA over the entire 4 years. Then there's a sub-GPA which is generally what is more focused on, which is just the GPA of the pre-requisite courses, and I believe the last 2-2.5 years of the degree. This is definitely something to confirm when applying though to different schools so you understand how they're looking at your academic record. It is definitely not like high school though, as more than 4th year grades are included, or at least that was the case for me applying as a Canadian student to Canadian PT schools.

@@aphysionamedjonah thank you. i just got accepted into the york kin program. i was also wondering what the main difference is between kin (BA) and (Bsc), and if they can lead me to the same place

Is it necessary to obtain a master degree to work as a registered physiotherapist? Can I able to give PCE exam after completing Bachelor’s of Kinesiology and able to work as a registered PT?

[@aphysionamedjonah]

No you would not be able to attempt the PCE with a Bachelor of Kinesiology. In order to attempt the exam, you need to have valid PT schooling, which in Canada is a Master's program. This answer gets muddier when discussing international education and the requirements there, but that's another story!

[@elifestyle86]

When you mean GPA, do you mean they look at the whole gpa, or just the last 20 credits of your bachelors + pre reqs?

[@aphysionamedjonah]

Depends on the school, but generally both! They'll look at your GPA of the courses you took heading into school, and then factor in your cGPA of entire undergrad to a lesser extent. Best way to know for sure is to look up the specific criterion for each school you apply to because they all vary a bit. Thanks for the question!
