PCE Exam - Online Study Group and Reference Thread

Dear all,

I would like to welcome anyone who is interested in writing the Canadian PCE in the future. I hope within this thread we can compile a list of resources, links, and group contact information to facilitate access to other students' who are also looking to write the exam.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~
To get the ball rolling, I am going to be writing the PCE in Mid-2009, in Vancouver. I will be actively searching for someone to study with from early to mid 2009 for the written component of the exam! :cool:

Next I will attempt to go through the available posts within this Section of the Forum, and attempt to collate the resources that other members have posted, so as to make this the ultimate study resource thread available online.:D

hi,

I am looking forward to write the PCE exam. I would like to be a part of the group.

Venkat

Hi all. I am also hoping to do the exam in March '08 as I am finally through the credentialling and PLAR process. (I trained in Australia and also relicensed in California several years ago.) I am now situated in northern Ontario, Canada and currently working part-time as an assistant for the experience and the Canadian contacts.

I have been advised by Canadian therapists to use the O'Sullivan Study Guide and Magee's Orthopedics particularly, along with anything else I find useful in the Alliance list. It seems the Canadian exam may now be closer to the US exam than it was a few years ago. Can anyone who has tried the recent exam speak to that?

I have also found it helpful to make contact with local therapists by looking for opportunities to volunteer or job shadow with them. Some of these therapists are great teachers and I have appreciated their willingness to have me around. I have been out of practice for a few years so this has helped me 'think physio' again in a Canadian clinical context.

An online study group will be a good way of keeping me focused so I am keen to be involved.

Thanks. :)

Has a group been started? I really need to get studying but due to unfortunate circumstances I have been delayed over the holidays..
If a group hasn't started, want me to look into how to start one?

Best of luck!
