The MOH-KW pathway for physiotherapists
Physiotherapists are classified under allied health across the GCC and sit a dedicated Prometric paper covering musculoskeletal, neurological and cardiopulmonary physiotherapy. Rehab centres, sports clinics and hospital departments all require the authority licence before onboarding.
Exams are scenario-driven: assessment findings, outcome measures, contraindications and progression of treatment plans account for most of the paper.
