I have had the experience of meeting many individuals who were doctors and surgeons in India, Bangledesh and other regions who are unable to practice medicine in other Countries such as Canada the USA or Europe because the standards are much higher.\n\nIf you are a physiotherapist in INDIA, the chances of you moving to London and becomeing a surgeon right away are nil.\nYou would likely have to get an undergraduate degree, then go to medical school for 4 years, then probably 8 more years of schooling and training.\n\nSorry to burst your bubble. Try calling medical schools in London to see what they tell to the requirements are for becoming a surgeon in London.

In total complete honesty, YOU will not get a job in Canada as a physiotherapist. Refer to the following website:\n\nhttp://www.notcanada.com/\n\nPLEASE THOROUGHLY REVIEW THE CONTENTS OF THIS WEBSITE. It was made by immigrants to Canada.READ EVERYTHING!!! I think that THEY would be the most knowledgeable about Canada since at one point they were in the same shoes that you are in now.

I started out a CNA and now I'm a paramedic. Youre darn right I could do it.

Doctorate in Physical Therapy.  They are hard programs to get into, so study hard!

If you have a BSc and some working experience you can probably get into an MSc program but you might have to do a qualifying course before they will admit you (to demonstrate that you are capable of doing the work).

To become a surgeon, and thus practice surgery, one must first get a four year college degree. Then, you go on to medical school, which is another four year program, followed by several years of residency before you can begin practicing as a surgeon.\n\nThus, if you're interested in becomming a surgeon, and don't yet have a college degree, that is your first step. You will want to find a college that has strong science programs, especially in chemistry and biology, although it is not necessary to major in science in order to apply to medical school.\n\nThere are many great colleges in Georgia. A good place to start your college search is: http://gacollege411.org/  There, you'll find a list of colleges in Georgia, plus information about financial aid, preparing to apply to college, and standardized tests.\n\nIf you'd like to learn more about becomming a doctor and surgeon, these three sites are jam packed with information about the process of preparing for and applying to medical school:\n\nhttp://prehealth.uchicago.edu/handbook/toc.html\n\nhttp://www.amherst.edu/~sageorge/health.html\n\nhttp://hpap.syr.edu/intsites.htm\n\nIf you're already enrolled in college, I'd suggest you talk with the pre-med advisor at your college who can give you some specific suggestions regarding which medical school in Georgia might be suitable for you.\n\nGood luck!

I am not 100% sure, but I seriously doubt it, unless it is being done by a Licensed Physical Therapist.  Ask the therapist you plan on seeing, they should know.

research cardiology or a Doctor or Surgeon in Cardiology? In both areas you can work with varying education. Both fields are wide open in that you could study for a lifetime and still not be finished.\n\nHowever, you can decide how long you want to be in school ( for either) and go from there

Go to your nearest community college, get a copy of the curriculum offered and ask to make an appointment w/an career advisor.  They can give you a test to help determine your best academic field and interests.  Hopefully, you'll find a health care profession interesting to you as there are openings in the health care field all over the country.  Vet tech is another field that is growing with a wide range of possibilities.  Good luck!

knowledge of anatomy and some practice with slicing dicing and a bit of medical knowledge would not hurt.\n\nget a medical degree. then get in PG course for the surgery

do you mean a Sergeant? like in the police? or a surgeon like as in a doctor in a hospital. if it a police then u need to finish high school and go to through a bootcamp type of training to become a regular police officer and work your way up.\n\n if you want to become a hospital surgeon then u have ur work cut out for u. study every single day when your in high schools read some biology, chemistry and physics textbooks and calculus books for fun. Take AP biology, chemistry, calculus, and physics in high school. its never too early to get started. this is an ultra competitive field. ALSO see if you can volunteer in a hospital since you cannot work yet. \n\nbecoming a surgeon is dedicating your life to helping other and being able to handle the pressure of constantly expecting to be correct. im studying for pre-med now and i kinda burned out. I chose to switch to an easier field (which is everything else lols).  it is hard to have the level of commitment needed to become a doctors and not many people appreciate your efforts so you have to motivate yourself and make sure you love science. it is not abnormal to spend weeks at a time not speaking to anyone, or moving from a desk. just sitting everyday every hour with your science textbooks. \n\nBecoming a surgeon is a great goel but not everyone is smart enough. make sure you are smart and hardworking enough first by getting top grades in your school. Surgeons can't make mistakes.

Pt is one of the best, but you really just need something more  noble than what you're seperating.  just look at a chart of standard electrode potentials to pick your best

you can always go back to school to specialize in a certain area. other than that promotions are not something that happens with general physicans.

I think your degree will be perfect for that job.  You'll have experience in both areas (the people and the planning).  I am not sure what degree is required, if any.  But, I do know that in the inpatient physical therapy section at the hospital I worked at, there was an activities director...I thnk she did not have a degree, but a lof of experience.  I am sure you would make more money with a degree.

It might be possible but only if a doctor is willing to vouch that your life is in danger unless you receive this procedure.  Most doctors would not be willing to place their reputations on the line unless this were true.

I would like to be a reconstructive surgeon myself and i am currently in medical school, and im sorry to say that this type of "cosmetic" surgeon cannot be done in a hospital "legally" this is something you would have to get done by someone who does things such as slipping tongues, placing horns under the skin, and things like that which are all done with no anesthesia, so if u can stand the pain go a head, but u will have to find someone who is skilled and someone u can really trust.
