physiotherapy course

cc9

hi all, i am looking for a bit of help here. i applied for a course in aberdeen for a masters in physiotherapy, the thing is that i have to write a personal statement of why i want to do that course and why i have chosen physio as a future career???
i havent a clue where to start, any help would be greatly appreciated!!
thanks a million

Are you applying for 2007 entry or something?

A personal statement is basically just a description about how great you are, why you want to do the course, and why they should pick you. They're looking for signs of interest in your chosen course, work experience, a confidance level that assures them you won't accept your place and then drop out straight away, or just never turn up, and so on. Your guidance councellor should go through the whole thing with you.

Good luck!

why don't you ask any physios you know why they like what they do or do a day's work experience and match your skills with the skills neccessary to be a good PT? check http://skoool.ie/skoool/careermatters.asp?id=831 for some ideas

thanks a million guys for the info, i have an interview next wednesday for the course in aberdeen, only found out recently though and i have not got a lot of hours carried out doing shadowing but i have all afternoon wed shadowing. i hope that it will stand to me, would anyone have any tips on what to prepare for the interview, or would anyone think that i would be at a loss with very few hours shadowing done!!
