Physiotherapy Competency Examination in Canada

[northyorkboy]

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 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

Hi guys - anyone know exactly where in Toronto they do the Written exam?

I am approved for the March exam and need to start planning my trip down. No details on venue in the package they mailed me.
