To pt4mu4medina,
11 years is not that long ago as long as you are willing to do what you want and need to do!
To give you an idea the PT Licensure Examination is given on the following months:
July and January
Before it's August and February.
There are a lot of new books including new editions that are out right now that surely will help you for the local boards. The following are:
1. Clinical Anatomy - Richard Snell 7th edition
-since local boards to so madami ang anatomy and basic sciences and very bookish pa.
2. Clinical Kinesiology - Brunnstrom 5th Edition
3.Joint Structure and Function - Cynthia Norkin 2nd Edition
4.Therapeutic Exercise - Caroline Kinsner 5th Edition
5.Medical Physiology - Guyton 11th Edition
6. Orthopedic Physical Assesment- David Magee 4th Edition
7.Physical Rehabilitation: Assessment and Treatment - 5th Edition
8.Principles & Techniques of Patient Care - 4th Edition
9.Measurement of Joint Motion: A Guide to Goniometry - Norkin(4th edition)
10.Daniels and Worthingham's Muscle Testing: Techniques of Manual Examination-8th Edition
11.Physical Agents in Rehabilitation: From Research to Practice - Cameron - 3rd Edition
12.The Rehabilitation Specialist's Handbook - Rothstein - 3rd Edition
13.Prosthetics and Orthotics - Seymour -
14.Therapeutic Modalities: For Sports Medicine and Athletic Training w/ eSims (THERAPEUTIC MODALITIES IN SPORTS MEDICINE - Prentice - 6th Edition
15.Pathology: Implications for the Physical Therapist - Goodman - 3rd Edition
16.Pharmacology in Rehabilitation (Contemporary Perspectives in Rehabilitation) - Ciccone- 4th Edition
17.Differential Diagnosis for Physical Therapists: Screening for Referral - Goodman - 4th Edition
18. PT-OT by Pablo -Santos
These are some of the books which i think is helpful for the local boards. But i would suggest if you could attend a live classroom lecture i.e. a review center so that they will guide you more on what topics to read and what to concentrate and focus more.
Do not read all the pages from the books. ( Just an advice. Use them only as a reference.)
Good luck! God Speed and God Bless!
More Power to all Filipino PT's!!!!!!

to all my pt colleagues,
I was once a PT underboard for 11 years and I decided to take the exam last year. yeah, with that 11 year hiatus,studying alone was really hard and i said to myself, i should attend a review center, in which i did. And with perseverance and God's help, I made it!! Btw, i would really suggest Prime Movers Review Center because all of the people there are really helpful, doesnt mind what year you graduated and what school you are from ( btw, UP's and UST peeps are usually enrolled here, and i aint belong to them but they sure help u). And most of all, the center is just near to Santo Domingo church, where during that time I usually pray for guidance and help after review classes.
Anyway, to all aspiring PTs...good luck and God bless!!

Welcome back fellow PTs.It 's never too late.When I went home last 2009. I attended SLRC as sit in review though I pay the whole amount.Unfortunately I need to go back to Middle East for work as I am a family man. I guess SLRC is a good review center.You need at least 6 months for a good review esp for us.Hopefully we will reach what we dream of long time ago.Goodluck.

Congrats! I applied for tourist visa B1/B2 today but was denied! Can you share your experiences in applying visa or you already have visa beforehand? How can you even take the exam and pass it if you are not given the chance to have a visa! to all my pt colleagues, I was once a PT underboard for 11 years and I decided to take the exam last year. yeah, with that 11 year hiatus,studying alone was really hard and i said to myself, i should attend a review center, in which i did.

Hi! I'm also lost in Pt profession... ' got my license in 2000 but haven't practiced PT since then.
It's only now that I realized that there is still a good opportunity for PTs...I'm hoping to get to US ASAP...but I don't know how to get started?
may i know the minimum requirements most of the agencies/ employers need?
thanks! a reply that could keep me updated will surely be appreciated:)

Some agencies does not even require any experience, but it's a plus if you have at least 1 year working experience as a PT.
You will have to check your Course Syllabus at school if you have complete subjects/course for the FCCPT. If not most of us go to PRI to take additional courses.
TOEFL is also needed. You have to score 26 for the speaking part.
If you sign up to an agency they will guide you through the process. But its better if you do your own research too. Some agencies pay for the expenses & some reimburse it after you pay for it yourself.

Hi there!
I am a 1999 graduate and took board exam last February 2012 and I passed!
I do not recommend any review centers, because that is kind of subjective on my part. If I do, some people will not commend on it; maybe because of their past experience with them or any other reasons known only to them.
I suggest you do your part by doing some research on those centers offering review for PT. Then your decision will depends on these factors below:
1. Tuition Fee
2. Review Center's Location
3. Lecturers and their style of teaching
4. Review materials they use or provide
5. Number of board topnotchers or percentage of passers they produced on every examination.
6. Others.
Review centers are there just to guide you. Your success will really depends on your attitude. Seriously speaking, study habit will depend on your own style. You need to read and read and read and UNDERSTAND what you read. I know it is painful to think that you need to read a lot of books, but that is the first step towards your success.
