fdDMP Gerenal Credit Requirment

Graduate/post graduate physical therapists from India lack in general education credits for work permit in USA . The physical therapy degree from an Indian institution is found to be deficient by around 30 to 32 credits by international accrediting agencies. This deficiency has to be made up by becoming eligible for seeking employment abroad. Prudent Options evaluates the professional degrees of the candidate and identifies the deficiency.

In order to make up this deficiency, a comprehensive bridge program acceptable to international credential evaluating agencies has been evolved. The bridge course is conducted over a period of one academic year from an accredited university. It is a part time program and requires 21 days of physical presence of the candidate. The curriculum enables the candidate to continue with his/her employment.
