Physical Therapy Shadowing in Seville, Spain

I had the most amazing experience during my time in Seville and that’s thanks to toucan abroad. They provided us with everything we need and more. The clinics we got to shadow were very insightful and kind. Seville is a very beautiful city, rich in culture, and safe. Toucan Abroad PT Shadowing is the best way to gain PT hours, experience, and see the difference and similarities of physical therapy both in Spain and the US. Not only did I gain PT experience, but I made great friends that made my experience so special.

This experience in Sevilla, Spain was one of the most rewarding experiences as a pre-PT student that I have ever done. It was definitely a step out of my comfort zone to travel with completely new people who I’ve never met before and being in a country that I’ve never been in with a language that I can’t speak, but I think getting such an amazing experience out of it despite coming into the trip with all of these unfamiliarities was the best part of Toucan Abroad. I learned so much from the PT clinics in Spain, and not only learned a lot about their work style and culture, but also their social culture and lifestyles of people that live there. The people I traveled with were so fun and kind, and everyone was in the same boat of being out of their comfort zone so it was a great time!

My experience in Seville through Toucan Abroad was truly something unforgettable. Not only was everyone very inclusive and kind from the moment we all met, but the personal and professional memories made alongside each and every one of them made it even more special. I learned so much during my time shadowing at my assigned clinics as well. I have gained invaluable insight towards physical therapy as a profession and I had the chance to get involved with a variety of hands-on opportunities which made my learning experience worthwhile as a pre-pt! For anyone wanting to explore the physical therapy profession while also being immersed into a new culture abroad, I highly recommend embarking on this journey with Toucan Abroad. It truly makes a difference being with like-minded individuals who are pursuing the same career. Without question, this program solidified my focus and confirmed my decision to pursue physical therapy as a career.
