Swedish PT moving to California (and searching contacts)...

Dearest reader -

I am a PT/MSc educated in Stockholm, Sweden, now searching for PT contacts in the state of California. I am planning to move to the Bay Area (Berkeley) in June of 2006 because of my fiancee's work situation. Therefore I "need all the advice I can get" regarding how to find a way to practice as a Physical Therapist there.

I have been in touch with the Physical Therapy Board in California, but also feel a need of other PT's to discuss this issue with. Most urgent is the need of guidance in how to find clinics to turn to with job applications and/or a place to do the clinical service at, which is needed when applying for a US (California state) licence. Further, I have a great interest in talking to anyone that has gone through the process of applying for a licence in the US lately!

Sincerely//
PT, MSc Mona W.
