physiotherapist & physical medicine/rehab physicians

[Michael7]

I understood that there's a great difference between countries in the organization of rehab team & I think it is also different in education.
but I have a question about education if you please , in the US if the physiotherapist have a DPT certificate, has the right to manage cases without a referral from a physician? or the physician also is a leader of the team?
and is there a board or something like that for non American physiotherapist to work there?
Finally, New Zeland is really a developed , civilized country .

so , that means that PMR physicians are part of the medical staff and have nothing to do with managing the rehab services administratively nor supervise/prescribe plan of care. I wish i get people from USA working with them at public hospitals to confirm that
