Great Information For Foreign Therapist Who Want to be in the USA for Work .........

Hi,

Are you a Physical Therapy graduate from a foreign university and want to be the licensure  of physical therapist USA? I am writing this post to Provide you year information about this topic. I am a physical therapist who graduated from the university too outside United States. And Currently, I am a registered PT of USA.

If you are unaware of the procedure of getting a PT license in one of the U.S. states, I hope this post Will Give Some basic idea about that. First of all, all 50 states in the U.S. have different  requirements The  about getting a license and  registration  with the physical therapy board of the state. All states Require you to pass the National Physical Therapist Examination ( NPTE ) in order to get the license. Now, here comes the twist. You just can not give this exam and become eligible to work as a PT in any state Even though you are a registered physical therapist in your native country. For That, you first have to have equivalent educational credentials set by each state. Once you meet all the required credentials of the states, you CAN be eligible to Appear for year  NPTE . So first thing That You Might want to do is to decide the States Where You want to practice as a physical therapist. Then you have to get your academic credentials evaluated by  FCCPT . They Will let you know how many credits you are missing and required to take the before appearing for  NPTE . Once you do that, You Can Start Taking Thos credits by  CLEP (College Level Examination Program) to fulfill That  Requirements . Also Now a days you have to take courses at local community colleges Some. Once finished, you CAN give NPTE  and CAN get a license once you clear the exam. 

           Before It was very easy to get license for Michigan & New York Rules have Changed But now a lot, It Became more strictly to reduce the flow of Foreign Therapist, However UNLESS & Roads has never tough until you think They are. So If you Seriously want to come to USA THEN Give 100% until you become Register Physical Therapist in USA. Still NEWYORK member Gives Further Eligibility to give exam But When You Want to have H1B (Job Visa) Then again They Require to have 60 credits to get certificates for H1B Visa Screening Process. Its very easy for me to write here But This process CAN take a lot time. You have to plan properly before you start to save time procedure Otherwise no doubt you Will be easily Wasting your precious years & Money (A Lot Of Money).               So I Would advice, first sit down at your favorite quitely love, think & talk to your self. Its about your life. Do you want to go to USA or Want to explore your own self in the foreign country, want to enjoy your loved ones company along with your carrier???? . Its up to you. It is Fact That Journey is tough this way. Its not as much easy as you think When you are only thinking about to come to USA. Expect the Hurdles But Also So believe in your self, God & success.While reading this post, IF you feel adrenaline rush into your body ready to welcome new & Seriously struggle of the life THEN I will advice what is the best option to come here . I will be writing more on post Which kind of courses you take for your CAN Further studies to come to USA & On Which kind of Visa You Can come here.

                  This is just a brief information about how to get it started. I will post more and more information about various topics along with one I Explained Earlier. Please post your comments for any suggestion or questions. Would I be happy to answer Them.

Good Luck!

Thanks.
