Step 2. Credentialing Process

Find a credentialing agency like FCCPT that meets your needs and is accepted by the state in which you wish to practice.The FCCPT can assist you in this endeavor to meet the requirements of license and/or immigration.

FCCPT is a credentialing agency that authenticates and verifies all educational and regulatory documents

Step 3. Immigration

Hi dear,

They are allowed to right Dr infront of their name in India but are not allowed to prescribe drugs.

Physiotherapists can use the title Dr. and write it infront of their name, the Indian Association of Physiotherapists(IAP) has said. It also said that neither the Indian Medical Association (IMA) nor the Medical Council of India (MCI) has any statutory power to regulate the physiotherapy profession in India.

Hey,
Microbiology and Physiotherapy are two distinct fields and just can't be compared on any scale. Both of them are equally good and it depends on your interest what you want to study.
Microbiology is that branch of Science which deals with microbes and infectious aagnts which cannot be seen with unprotected eye.It includes the study of hos microbes interacts with other living organisms and the ultimate effects. Microbiology is a vast discipline in itself. You can work in healthcare firms,forensic Science laboratories,environmental organisations,Food research,pharmaceutical and so on.
On the other hand,Physiotherapy is the treatment of injuries through exercise and massage etcetera
It helps you add life to the movements of people.
You can work as a physiotherapist after your Bachelors in Physiotherapy or go for specialisation.
This field has huge scope.
Hope this helps.
Good luck.
