Hi Kateryna
Thanks for your quick answer! I would really appreciate if you could research some PT schools in CA. It's so difficult to find good information on the internet.
I'm pursuing the Bachalor's plan right now.
Before Switzerland changed to Bachalor's and Master's in Switzerland the PT education was connected to a hospital and was not at a university. After 4 years school and practice you got a PTdiploma. Actually, the curriculum no in the Bachalor's is almost the same as before. The only different is that we have some sientific education now. The Master's doesn't exist yet, but they are working on it. The Master's will be a deeper education in scientific research, I think. DPT doesn't exist in Switzerland at all. Because of that, I'm not sure what kind of work you could do then in Switzerland. It's allready now a discussion on what the different should be between a PT with a bachalor degree and one with a Master's out in worklife. As you see the situation in Switzerland isn't that clear at the Moment.
What kind of work would you like to do in switzerland? Would you like to work in a hospital? Or would you prefere to work in science? May be it could be a oportunity for you to work at one of the to PTschools in Switzerland and so beeing able to get more working contacts.
There is one school in Winterthur (close to Zurich) and one in Bern. I'm at the one in Winterthur. Here its name and homepage. (Do you speak any german?)
ZHAW Zürcher Hochschule für angewandte Wissenschaften

As it doesn't exist any Master's in PT in Switzerland, I would like to do a Master's in US.
Do you also work at hospitals during your education in the US? Could you tell me more about your curriculum? Maybe that would help to find out if its possible to work in switzerland with a USdiploma.
I will get back to you as soon as I know more.
