Help is at hand. Do you have a Foreign-trained PT all credentialled and ready to sit the exam? Want to improve their chances of passing (there is a low pass rate for non-Canadians) and get them more quickly into your practice area?

The second intake for the new IEP programme is starting soon.

UBC, in partnership with PABC, CPTBC, Vancouver Coastal and Fraser Health, has developed the Internationally Educated Physiotherapists (IEP) Program to bridge IEPs in their preparation to sit the Physiotherapy Competency Exam (PCE) so they can practice in BC.

The next intake of IEPs will occur in mid-November with an application deadline of November 7th. This intake will prepare IEPs for the March 2009 written component of the PCE. If you are aware of any IEPs who are credentialed and awaiting the exam and you want to help them pass, get them to enrol in this FREE programme (thanks to our provincial government funding).

The form is attached, along with an IEP information sheet. Should they have any questions please direct them to Jonathan Coelho, IEP Program Manager, at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it or 604-827-5934.
