Hi, does anyone have any information regarding wotrking in the US. I have british qualifications and have worked in Canada for 5 years and curently working in the UK. I have an oppurtunity through the Green card system to live and work in the US.
I know the term podiatrist can't be used but can I set up as A Biomechanical / Sports injury Specalist, work in rehabiliation, manufacture orthotics??
thanks

Why don´t you seen off an email to the American Podiatric medicine association I´m sure they can answer your questions. Ive delt with some of the staff there and they are great. There the website for you to get an email address.

Whether you wish to practice physical therapy, sports trainer, Podiatry, nurse, nurses aide, etc...you still need certain educational minimums (credenials) as well as state licensure.

First decide what your educational background qualifies you for and go from there.

I can pretty much assure you it will not be Podiatric Medicine and surgery or Physical Therapist.

Thanks Guys, will get in touch with podaitry Schools and see what they can offer me. Most of my work is in Sprts Injuries and rehabilitation. The little surgery I do is from a local Private Hospital so I just wanted to continue my Biomechanics over in the US if at all possible. I wonder if it is possible just to set up a Sports Rehab. clinic and employ Podiatrists and physio's etc, orthotist and direct the clinic ( just off the top of my head) thanks anyways

 

You might want to consider the American Pedorthic association. The additional training is minimal and this would allow you to continue the biomechanics.
