USA CITIZEN - Wanting to go overseas for physiotherapy

[Shyamji]

Hi,

This is my situation hopefully someone can shed some light and help me out.
I am a US citizen and have a bachelor's of science in biology and want to pursue a degree in physical therapy. I want to know what the process would be if i did go over seas got my degree (masters/bachelor's) and if i wanted to come back to the United States (New Jersey) to practice. I really have no idea in which direction I should go towards, I have done a lot of research but can not find the correct answers.

To sum it up:
US citizen with a BS-Biology in America -> Trying to study overseas for Physiotherapy -> come back to United States to practice.

Hi,
I just put a few words into google...
You need to contact the board of the state, where you will later want to apply for your license. They will be able to give you information, about whether or not (and in the first instance - which ones) they accept foreign degrees.
Try here for New Jersey: New Jersey State Board of Physical Therapy Examiners
Or here for all the boards in the US: https://www.fsbpt.org/LicensingAuthorities/

Good luck,
