charmer08 Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 after a bachelors degree, you apply to a masters of physiotherapy program... ORPAS (google it) is where you should be looking for more information Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

future_doc Posted September 2, 2011 Report Share Posted September 2, 2011 McGill has an applied Masters degree that I believe you can even start in the summer and leads to licencing. You need a QY Qualifying Year and must have 50 hours of physio experience which you can get now by shadowing a physio in your area. Once you do the QY, you can do the Masters in a year and a half. Good Luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilovesummer Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 How does having 2nd year university courses in your last 20 credits reflect on your chances of getting in? It doesn't... but it is probably is best to have at least 60% of your courses at your year level... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilovesummer Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 after a bachelors degree, you apply to a masters of physiotherapy program... ORPAS (google it) is where you should be looking for more information You should apply this year on ORPAS, apps are due in January, so start planning reference letters asap. Also it would be good to volunteer in clinics so you have something to talk/write about in your interview if you apply to mac or u of t. The program is SUPER competitive, so keep that in mind and dont give up. Some people get in on their first try, others take a few years... best of luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
