US Schools offering MPT and accepting Canadians?

Members don't see this ad.

I was wondering if people knew of any PT schools in the US offering a MPT program and accepting Canadian students. Also can anyone direct me to the literature regarding obtaining a license to practice in Canada (Ontario) as a Canadian citizen but US grad.

Thanks!

Basically, the Ontario College of Physiotherapists requires that you have a degree in physio and pass their licensing exam. However, if your education was not in Canada, your education background must be approved by the Canadian Alliance of Physiotherapy Educators. Unfortunately, they evaluate each application separately and thus do not have a list of programs that qualify or anything. I would look at the course listing for an Ontario school and make sure that any US schools I applied to had similar requirements and practical hours. Also, get good grades-- those count!
