The most outstanding learning experience!

Coming to Dominica with Therapy Abroad was one of the best decisions that I made. I was a little hesitant to go at first but after experiencing what I did, I am so glad I made the decision to go! The hospitality of everyone that we encountered was amazing, the food was different was delicious and the places that we go to go were unforgettable. Starting with the skilled nursing facilities (SNF), the were a lot different than what I was expecting but I am so glad that we got to come and make a difference in a place that was so deserving and amazing. The staff at both PHARCS and the Dominican Infirmary were amazing and willing to help with any questions that we had and almost all of the patients were so excited to have us there with them. They were all amazing to work with and I learned so much about my clinical work and about myself and what I am so passionate about which is this field. Working at the schools was also an amazing experience and being able to work with the children who need it the most brought so much joy to my heart and it was such a fulfilling experience. The children were so well behaved in their classrooms and the parents of the children and the staff were very welcoming and willing to help in any way that they could. Home health was a very eye opening experience for me as it was amazing and so crazy to see how to people here in Dominica live when they have the needs that some of the patients did. There were a lot of safety concerns for the patients in terms of their living situation and how they were to get in and out of their house but being able to be there and make the appropriate recommendations that were needed for the patients health, speech and communication, and well being. The excursions were UNFORGETTABLE and something that I would have never done without being on this trip and Katie and all of the staff with therapy abroad took the most amazing care of all of us while being here in Dominica. Overall, this was the most amazing trip and I am so happy that I got the opportunity to experience everything I got to this trip. Thank you so much Katie and all of therapy abroad for making this trip unforgettable and carry the biggest impact on my academic and professional career as a future speech language pathologist

This study abroad trip exceeded my expectations by leaps and bounds! It was the PERFECT mix of clinical experiences with cultural and fun excursions and life-time experiences. I even learned how to snorkel! I cannot thank Katie and the Castle Bruce staff enough for their time and effort in making this such a wonderful experience. We are already planning next year’s trip!

My trip was fantastic. The culture and the people are so kind and make you feel so welcome. I felt like I was at a home away from home. It is hard and bittersweet, sweet leaving. The guide, Katie; the drivers, Kenny and Kent; the cooks, Carlo and Mariana; and the house maintenance lady, Flo. We're all amazing and build genuine connections. I came to Castle Bruce feeling like a stranger and left feeling like family.
