| A resource for new graduates & Chartered Physiotherapists
PhysioOptions
A PROJECT BY BSc PHYSIOTHERAPY STUDENTS FROM UCD DUBLIN
This site exists for a simple reason - recent, new and upcoming Chartered Physiotherapists need a place to find information about entering the "real" world.
You'll find information about where to look for jobs, how to apply, and what to do once you get through to short-list and interview. Most importantly, you'll see what to do if you don't have a job, how to keep your skills fresh and develop as an advocate of the profession of physiotherapy.
We hope that you find the site useful, appropriate to your needs, interactive, and relevant.
We recognise that this site is not exhaustive in its information for new graduate physiotherapists. However, we hope that it will inform you and direct you in discovering many useful sources of information, which will aid your transition from a college student to a working professional.
Enjoy :)
