Our comprehensive program is designed to address both the professional and personal aspects of your move to America. Let us explain the major steps:
The Application Process — If you are a licensed physical therapist with a minimum of one year of experience in your profession, your skills are in great demand in America. Once you complete our Send Resume or Application, we will review your education and experience to determine the best path for you to take to work as a PT in the United States.
TOEFL— The first hurdle to relocating to the U.S. is passing the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). You must receive a passing score on this exam in order to work as a therapist in America. If you already have this credential, we will reimburse you for your investment prior to your departure for the US.
Credentialing - Next, you must have your education credentials evaluated by an authorized Credential Evaluation Service (CES). There are a variety of CES organizations for PTs. However, they are not universally acceted by all states. Once you have passed the TOEFL examinantion, we will assist you with credentialing for your destination state and for your VisaScreen certificate.
Licensure Examination — The next priority is to prepare you for the U.S. licensing examination (NPTE). We will provide guidance in identifying quality test preparation materials and courses. NPTE exams are only given in the U.S. We can help you make arrangments to sit for the exam in the appropriate state. (NOTE: Depending on the location of your assignment, you may be granted a temporary U.S. physical therapy license and be allowed to come to the United States to work as a PT under the supervision of a licensed PT while you prepare to take the NPTE exam.)
Job Placement — Our placement team works hard to ensure that your assignment in the United States is a great fit for you and your employer. Many factors are considered regarding your U.S. placement. These factors include, but are not limited to, your clinical skills and experience, job opportunities at the time of your relocation and, of course, your own personal location preferences. Because of the strong relationships that we have with built with healthcare facilities all across the U.S. and the quality of our healthcare professionals, Passport USA has more job opportunities at more healthcare facilities than ever before.
Visa Sponsorship — Upon client selection we will begin the visa sponsorship process. Typically, Passport USA's parent corporation, Health Carousel, will be your visa sponsor. The type of visa used may vary based on several factors including your educational background, your profession, and the position you will be accepting.
Preparing for the USA — Before you pack your bags for America, we will ensure that you know what to expect when you arrive at your destination. Passport USA and our clinical partner facilities will assist you with your transition to living and working in the United States.
Support — A Passport USA representative will be assigned to you and will be available throughout the duration of your time with us. We will give you the support you need to ease into your new environment and to feel confident in your workplace and personal life.
Long-Term Career Opportunities - Once your initial Passport USA assignment has been completed you have unrestricted career opportunities. You will be eligible for a variety of clinical settings around the country as a traveling therapist or accept another long-term assignment in a new part of the country. When your initial contract period is completed, you can choose to work as a traveling PT, accept a nother long-term assignment with PasportUSA, or identify a "permanent" employment opportunity. You may even be invited to work as directly for your assigned clinical partner facility indefinitely.
