Physical Therapy Shadowing in Greece

Hi, my name is David, I come from San Diego, California. I go to school at San Diego State University. I am on a kinesiology major there, so our specific college requires of us to go on a study abroad program at some point of our career as post graduates, so that’s why I chose this specific program and to come to Greece. My experience so far has been really nice. I’ve been here for two weeks. So in my first week I got into kinesiotherapy and the OR. That has been an amazing experience as well. It’s something I wouldn’t have been able to do or experience back in the States. Greece and specifically Athens where I am right now, is a really nice city, very cheap. People are really friendly and helpful. Definitely got to see a lot places. The people are cool, the team here is also great, very responsive and very helpful. Any questions you have they would answer almost immediately. So, I definitely would recommend that you apply to this program.

Hi, my name is Sharon Nugent, I am from Oregon, Virginia. I go to school to the College of Charleston, North Carolina. I went on this program to learn more about physiotherapy and actually see what they do. This has been a great experience to really see what is done and I’ve never had an experience like this. So, it’s been a great experience to see that. Also, I got to see surgeries which is a thing I’ve been interested but it was really cool to be able to see how things are done, which I know I wouldn’t have the chance to experience in the US. It’s been great here, I’ve learnt a lot. The coordinators have been really amazing. Seeing Athens has been amazing, I’ve met some wonderful people. So, it’s been a great time.

Hi guys, my name is Daniel, I am from Canada and I go to school in Ontario. I chose the medical internship because I am studying physiotherapy at my University. This internship has been going really well so far. My first week here I’ve been in the physiotherapy lab. During my second week here I’ve been doing surgery. The surgeons are really nice, they do a great job explaining what they’re doing while you get into shadowing them in the room. The hours that they give you here are perfect as you finish normally having some time to explore Athens. It’s really nice around here and I really enjoyed my experience.
