Hi all,
it is very depressing for me right now. my evaluating agency has not accepted the detail documentation sent by university in India. As a result i lack many professional credits (some are basic like cardiopulmonary examination). As angry and depressed as I am, i can not argue with the agency beyond a point.
I would like to know options in front of me.
1) enter into entry level masters or doctoral PT program so as to avoid the evaluation: I am thinking of doctoral -it is at least a degree further. i have a family to look after so i am considering part time/ online format. does anyone know such DPT programs other than FLEX at USA?
2) get all those deficient credits from universities like ATSU- ATSU has online t-DPT program that allows non-degree option. I am little skeptical to spend couple of years, money, not get a degree and still get evaluated in the end.
3) take up a short diploma/associate course to work as massage therapist or medical biller & coder- both programs are offered in my city but i need a visa to work. that visa in turn needs a bachelor degree. there are people who have worked around the system and gotten visa without bachelors. I just don't know anyone in massage therapy or medical billing.
Does any one know Indian national in above fields working on visa? They sure would be of great help.
I really don't know what other options I have. It is very frustating to sit at home after all these years of good education.
Is there a federal body checking over these evaluating agencies?
Please help me. All your suggestions are very welcome.
Thanks a lot
Shalaka

Hi there,
sorry to hear someone else suffering too.
i have actually taken 39 credits already. ICD has given me full general now but many deficiencies in professional like in examination/evaluation area.
my advice- quit ICD, go for FCCPT and try evaluation with them. they are much professional and ready to help. i have had horrible experience with ICD so did couple of my friends. i did multiple evaluations with ICD for 2 years and everytime they came up with new deficiencies. their customer service is rude. they say eval will be completed in 8-10 weeks but it is never the case.
i have suffered so much with them, wasted lot of money and time that i don't want anyone else going through it.
good luck
