to the official website of the British Columbia Association of Internationally Trained Kinesiologists (BCAITK).
Why an association of Internationally (Foreign) Trained Kinesiologists? We think that a great example of what such an initiative can accomplish can be found if we look, for instance, at the Association of Internationally Trained Medical Doctors of BC (AIMDBC); just a few years ago, they were in a situation quite similar to ours, but because of their ongoing efforts, a program exists now for the International Medical Graduates that helps them get into practice in BC. While discussing the achievements of AIMDBC, no matter how commendable, is not the purpose of this website, we cannot deny that we have inspired from them when we created our organization. We also had to face some struggles in our desire to achieve recognition here of our degrees, and we strongly believe that only through a concerted effort from the part of all people interested we can really accomplish something.
We are not aware, at this moment, of any other organization in existence in BC at this time, with the same (or at least a similar) purpose. If such an organization does exist, we will make every attempt to meet with them and join our efforts towards a common goal.
You will soon be able to find out more information about our association on theAbout uspage, such as a more widely elaborated presentation of its mission, history, statute, board structure etc. Until then, if you are interested in joining or you want to learn more, feel free to contact us, preferrably via e-mail.
The role of this site is to be a tool designed to help our association to achieve its declared goals of bringing together all the Internationally Trained Kinesiologists in BC. We apologize for the fact that you will find it, at least at the beginning, to be incomplete and in a continuous change. We will try to finalize it as quickly as possible. Having said that, we will appreciate any input from you, members or potential members, in order to make it better and more useful towards its purpose.
