First Name: Dhyanesh

Last Name: Raval

Section 1 - My Gaps in Content Knowledge and Clinical Skills

What are my current content knowledge gaps?

Continuing education regarding advancement of the physiotherapy treatments or trends in


therapy and electrotherapy machines. Limited knowledge of Canadian Culture and health
records, Sources of funding in different provinces.

What are my current clinical skills gaps?

The major gap is the break I have to take from my practice while working in different fields in
Canada until I clear my exam. I lack knowledge of recent developments in physiotherapy
especially in North America. Also, I am not familiar with the back-end management of funds
and health records in Canada.

What are my gaps in skill and/or experience with the MCQ exam format used on the PCE?

Time management, Attention to detail, accuracy. I need to practice more case studies in order
to solve the questions faster and right.

What are my gaps in skill and/or experience with the clinical exam format used on the PCE?
I would like to learn and improve on consent and ethics which are expected from Canadian
registered physiotherapists. Also I have 1 year break in my practice because of working in the
different sectors in Canada.

Section 3: What Exam Preparation Options Am I Considering?

Self-study
Joining a Study Group
Looking for a Mentor Who Has Successfully Completed the Exam
Taking a Specific PCE Exam Prep Course (that focuses on PCE content and skills)
Taking a General Exams Skills Workshop (that focuses on exam taking strategies, exam
management and exam anxiety etc)
Working in Canada as a Physiotherapy Assistant
Taking a Bridging Program in Canada for Internationally Educated Physiotherapists
Other :

Please state other options:

Please explain why you selected the options above.

I feel that initially, I would study better by myself because I know what I need to improve
immediately for the written component. I am capable of maintaining my discipline and
consistency while studying alone.

I would try to get some help from the experienced person who has given PCE recently to
know what I am/ they are doing differently which could lead to better/ worse results. Also,
the potential confusion about the exam settings can be reduced by speaking to someone who
has given the same component and been through the same process.

However, for the clinical component, I would like to join a study group to practice
problem-solving skills. I can also learn a lot from the perspective of the others. I also think

that having a group would be helpful in getting ongoing feedback about the gaps.

I believe the best thing to do is to join a physiotherapy field in Canada as an assistant to boost
my confidence in treating patients and understanding Canadian ethics, standards of practice
and other laws better. It can also provide a great networking opportunity to be a part of the
physiotherapy community whose help I can seek.
