There are 2 paths to becoming a paramedic :(You must have basic good education, English, Maths and a science pref.)\n\n1. Go to university and take a four year course in paramedical science.\n\n2.You can start off as an Emergency ambulance technician where you will be trained to deal with emergencies resuscitation etc.   You have to work at this for two years then you can apply for paramedical training.  If you are selected then the ambulance service trains you.\n\nIt is an advantage if you have taken a first aid certificate.\n\nHope this helps.

I wouldn't recommend you to try to UK as I have head that there are alot of dr.s on the waiting list. Plus, nowadays they are giving 1st preference to the nationals and then other nationalities.\nI'm not sure specifically about physiotherapists though.

it certainly isn't an easy process, but if you have desirable qualifications and can prove that your skills will be a viable asset to this country, then a person will be considered. you could always start by getting yourself a working visa or the alternative is to be sponsored by an Australian family, who will support you and house you while you are here. i don't know a lot about the process, but i'm sure it would be fairly easy to find out. what country are you from?  try these sites, i hope they may be useful

Hi.Im a physiotherapist from İstanbul. Physiotherapists are not doctor and doctors are not physioterapist. Those re different but similar jobs.Physiotherapists re a team with doctors(orthopedists,neurologist,pysiatrists etc.).Like this: if someone needs physical therapy and treatment or rehabilitation must be first inspect and examinate by a doctor (MD).And then physical therapists do the therapy; like some electrotherapy, maniplation and exercises...Therapists CANT decide the diognosis or medicine, doctors make this and send the patient to physical therapist with the diognosis and self suggestions. In my country, physiothrerapy education is 4 years. 2 years same lessons like medicine and 2 years proffesional lessons. And then 3 years master -if you want. (for example Ive made my master about sport rehabilitation; sport medicine and exersice physiologie in İstanbul Medicine University)Also 7 years education.Its very hard but joyfull and important job. Thanks...

Depends what country/province/state you live or work in as is different everywhere. You'll need to have a degree from a respected university and relevant experience. I think in the States they make you do extra exams. In Britain or the Commonwealth try\n\nhttp://www.imeche.org.uk

there are plenty of courses available for the average student. don't forget that the majority of students are average!! you can enrol in tertiary preparation courses first go to www.oua.edu.au and check out the uni prep courses. \nobviously if you feel you are very average you wouldn't enrol in a science or similar course. there is a big need for teachers in australia, particularly male. also check out the TAFE websites.

Training, Other Qualifications, and Advancement[About this section] Back to Top\nAll States require that PAs complete an accredited, formal education program and pass a National exam to obtain a license. PA programs usually last at least 2 years and are full time. Most programs are in schools of allied health, academic health centers, medical schools, or 4-year colleges; a few are in community colleges, the military, or hospitals. Many accredited PA programs have clinical teaching affiliations with medical schools.\n\nIn 2005, more than 135 education programs for physician assistants were accredited or provisionally accredited by the American Academy of Physician Assistants. More than 90 of these programs offered the option of a master’s degree, and the rest offered either a bachelor’s degree or an associate degree. Most applicants to PA educational programs already have a bachelor’s degree.\n\nAdmission requirements vary, but many programs require 2 years of college and some work experience in the health care field. Students should take courses in biology, English, chemistry, mathematics, psychology, and the social sciences. Many PAs have prior experience as registered nurses, while others come from varied backgrounds, including military corpsman/medics and allied health occupations such as respiratory therapists, physical therapists, and emergency medical technicians and paramedics.\n\nPA education includes classroom instruction in biochemistry, pathology, human anatomy, physiology, microbiology, clinical pharmacology, clinical medicine, geriatric and home health care, disease prevention, and medical ethics. Students obtain supervised clinical training in several areas, including family medicine, internal medicine, surgery, prenatal care and gynecology, geriatrics, emergency medicine, psychiatry, and pediatrics. Sometimes, PA students serve one or more of these “rotations” under the supervision of a physician who is seeking to hire a PA. The rotations often lead to permanent employment.\n\nAll States and the District of Columbia have legislation governing the qualifications or practice of physician assistants. All jurisdictions require physician assistants to pass the Physician Assistant National Certifying Examination, administered by the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants (NCCPA) and open only to graduates of accredited PA education programs. Only those successfully completing the examination may use the credential “Physician Assistant-Certified.” In order to remain certified, PAs must complete 100 hours of continuing medical education every 2 years. Every 6 years, they must pass a recertification examination or complete an alternative program combining learning experiences and a take-home examination.\n\nSome PAs pursue additional education in a specialty such as surgery, neonatology, or emergency medicine. PA postgraduate educational programs are available in areas such as internal medicine, rural primary care, emergency medicine, surgery, pediatrics, neonatology, and occupational medicine. Candidates must be graduates of an accredited program and be certified by the NCCPA.\n\nPhysician assistants need leadership skills, self-confidence, and emotional stability. They must be willing to continue studying throughout their career to keep up with medical advances.\n\nAs they attain greater clinical knowledge and experience, PAs can advance to added responsibilities and higher earnings. However, by the very nature of the profession, clinically practicing PAs always are supervised by physicians.
