    Re: US trained/licensed physiotherapist- how to work as PT in Singapore?

    I have similar questions. I am a Canadian trained physiotherapist with my husband pursuing a job opportunity in Singapore. I haven't been able to find the MOH list of accredited schools either.
    I do know that speaking English is not a barrier to working in Singapore.
    I also had questions regarding the average salary for a physiotherapist in Singapore.

    Re: US trained/licensed physiotherapist- how to work as PT in Singapore?

    I am going to try and call the MOH and talk to them directly to see if my school in FL is exempt from their test.

    The salary for a PT is not very good in Singapore. I looked up the average annual salary on the internet Physiotherapist Average Salary Income - International Comparison. That site and some other sites online confirm that a PT in Singapore is expected to make about S$2500/month, or on average S$27,000 to S$35,000. This is about 1/2 of a starting salary for a recent PT grad here in the states. Crazy! I think the salary level also depends on if you work in a private facility or a hospital. Regardless, it won't come close to what I would be able to make in the US.

    I am heading out to Singapore in two weeks to meet my husband there for a short term visit. I will try to get some more information about a PT job/salary while I'm there.
