Thanks Dana,
Very much good information you are providing here. It was strange a bit for me that not many applicants here on the forum are writing their experiences with the Canadian Alliance of physio. So, I apperciate your sharing here. Personally, my study includes research methodolgy, research, pharmacology, psychology and all these things they ask most applicants for. it is just the Evidence based practice which I tried search for courses and I found very expensive EBP workshops around 2.000 dollars. But the link is very good course online covers the canadian context and evidence as well as ethics. I will register for this course you advised, thank you.

Does The Alliance say within the assessment report about credits ? The issue of credits is really not clear for me, as I do not know the canadian system about it neither the Physio Alliance classification for the credits of each cretria. Let us take an example of the 6th cretria of Professionalism, of course I copied it from perivous applicants here on the forum:


6.Foundational knowledge area: professional and integrated practice
(a) the assessment determines if you completed course work and sufficient credits in
- independent practice / autonomous practice / primary care
- evidence-based practice
- professional conduct, ethics and standards of practice
- inter-professional practice, multidisciplinary practice, health care team and consultation;
- principles of physiotherapy management and administration (e.g., information systems, marketing, human and fiscal resource management, business management); and
- case based integration, integrated practice, integrated tutorials, synthesis in special
themes, professional consolidation and reflective practice.

we will also give credits to any of the following courses. this means that if the program you completed included the above courses but you did not have enough credits in those courses, we will give credits to any of the following courses:

- physiotherapy in long term conditions, health management across the continuum, professional transition, education and advocacy, program evaluation (quality assurance).

(b) Assessment outcome - course work
we did not find evidence of any course work in
- independent practice / autonomous practice / primary care;
- evidence-based practice;
- professional conduct, ethics and standards of practice
- principles of physiotherapy management and administration (e.g., information
systems,marketing, human and fiscal resource management, business
management); and
- case based integration, integrated practice, integrated tutorials, synthesis in
special themes, professional consolidation and reflective practice.

(c) Assessment outcome - credits
you have met the minimum number of credits we require in this area
Back again commenting, the first thing seems the Alliance does not ask any more for the integrated practice according to their website.
For me a report containing the above quote needs an interpretor to explain what means a) b) c) ......abit complexity which is unecessary. so from your experience How did you interprate/ understand your report ?

wishing you the best with your exams written and practical
