@Andrea................yes, you are correct. Almost all of the physiotherapy programs are unique to the country the academic institution is based in. for example, the program in india is to an extent different than the program in NZ. But that is why countries like NZ, USA, etc have credential evaluations and/or examinations for foreign educated physiotherapist(aka physical therapist in usa) to determine the competency level of a physiothrapist against those educated in domestic programs.
i'll be sure to exercise your advice in calling the NZ physio board. I have emailed them but havent received a reply yet.
WOW! thats a cheap rate, on behalf of all of us who'll be reading this thread in the future, you mind making that phone call for us then? im just joking. I'm really looking at that phone call as an investment so the cost isnt a biggie
