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

Ever wondered how to become A Physio Named (First Name Here) like me?
Well Canadian students, this is how! In this video I draw on my experience of going through school to give you an idea of what the process can look like, then give you a rundown of what YOU need to do in order to get into a PT school in Canada.
Of course this video doesn't include EVERYTHING you'll have to do some researching and preparing for the exact program you want to apply to, but in this video I give a detailed look at what it takes to go from high school to a Master's of PT as a Canadian student.
I graduated high school in Canada in 2013, from my undergraduate degree in 2017, and finished PT school in 2019. So I've been through the process and come out the other side, but I can still remember what it was like!

So why watch A Physio Named Jonah?
For free videos about the human body, injuries, rehabilitation, the world of Physiotherapy, and whatever other shenanigans comes along. Maybe you can learn something new and not feel like you're stuck in a classroom waiting for the bell to ring.
A Physio Named Jonah is a channel created by, well, exactly who you think. The channel features primarily Physiotherapy based topics, or things that it would make sense for a Physical Therapist to weigh in on. The goal is to make these often sterile topics interesting and easily accessible to anyone with a few laughs (or forced exhales from your nose if you're alone) along the way.
Jonah is a Canadian Physiotherapist who works with a primarily outpatient orthopaedic population at a clinic in Downtown Toronto. He completed his Master's of Physical Therapy at the University of Toronto, with his Bachelors of Sciences specialized in Human Kinetics coming from The University of Ottawa. He is also considered by his parents, girlfriend and dog to be a pretty cool guy.

[@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 :)

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!

[@jasaih7220]

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.
