hello guys!

Im new to this site and Im going to take the written exam this coming november, im from vancouver, is there any of you here who knows where to find some practice questions. I took the exam last july but unfortunately I failed, I guess it took me by surprise because the questions are very vague and the answers are nowhere to be found (some says it logical--i agree). Even american or australian nationsl questions are well appreciated. Anybosy can email me - [email protected]. Thanks.

Hello all,
I've applied for PCE in Canada. Now, they've asked me to take a 1 credit course either in Ethics or evidence-based practice.

Are you aware of any online courses for each of these topics? The ones that the Alliance suggest are so demanding, time consuming.

Thanks

Hi

Anyone interested in comprehensive study for this June clinical exam? The person that I was practicing with has got some situations that can't practice anymore. So I am looking for someone to practice with for the June exam in Toronto.

Hi Manuel,

I'm also doing the practical in November and would be interested in starting a study group. I live downtown, but I'm sure we can find somewhere in the middle to meet. I'm trying to get a meeting together next week if you're interested. I'll PM you my e-mail.

Hi, Nemo,

Yeah, I found that for the written the two books were enough, but you got to know Colby and Kisner really by heart.

There are some information required about modalities US, Electro, but the ones in the Guide are enough.

Wikipedia, as I said, for brachial, lumbar, sacral plexus and every muscle and action that they involve.

Also, know the convex-concave rule for joints.

Ethics: respect patient's wishes, do not disclose therapy but with patient's permission, there is a book on ethics by Hebert, that you could read, but it is loss of time.

Colby and Kisner, again.

So, where are you located? In TO maybe?

Best wishes,

NYB

hi NYB,
thanx for the reply .......i m in Vancouver........can u give me some idea which electrical mpodalities to study for.......coz i guess only few r in practice........will start 2 study hard now.....thanx a lot again.

[northyorkboy]

Hi Nemo,

Look in the Study Guide by Bates. That should be enough for the theoretical. Know contraindications and side effects.

In my opinion and in the opinion of several other people I talked to, the questions on the Alliance website are at a lower level of difficulty than those at the actual exam.

Know your anatomy really well, wikipedia can be of great help.

Forget for now (if it is the written) about Magee, it is far too detailed. The tests in the Study Guide were enough for me. But again, I cannot say how important it is to know everything in Colby and Kisner.

Best wishes,
NYB


I reissue my invitation for study pals. Anybody interested in TO area?

Best wishes,

Manuel
