Credential valuation

[physiobob]

Hi
I am trying to get some information on credential valuation for a physiotherapist with 14 years of education and 4 years in a bpt course.
Anyone with a similar status who has done an ICD evaluation can help me by letting me know if I can get 60 in general and 75 in professional?

This is all foerign to me. Can you please try NOT to use abbeviations, at least the first time, as abbreviations are not indexed for future search. And few of us, including me in this case, know what they stand for. In your message I would love to try to help but you give no reference to a country and what exactly "credential valuation/ICD " stands for? If possible can you please provide more information for us. Thanks

hi bob
International consultants of delaware, ICD is a credentialing agency accepted by the florida board and many other states in the US,to give a report on our education and training. Usually the ICD scores will determine whether the board will give us a license inorder to take the National physical therapy examination. If I need to qualify for licensure, I need to score 60 in general and 75 in professional. General includes all our education such as GCSE and A levels and professional includes our physiotherapy course. ICD compares our education and training with the US standards. Being an Indian physiotherapist I know that in professional, I can score around 100 points but I am not aware of how the ICD will rate my general points. I have heard that the scores are usually in the range of 20-30. I want to confirm this. If I can then I wont apply for licensure in florida. I can apply in Michigan or new york where these scores are not relevant for a licensure.

Perhaps the best person to ask this question of is Darren at Physio America. You can contact him directly here. He is a UK trained physio working in the USA and he specializes on getting UK and Aussie physio's through the registration process. As he is a PT he will directly be able to relate more to your needs and questions. I hope his helps you with the info you need.
