A huge world with countless possibilities: Overseas study tours for students in an allied health field

摘要

Since 2004, the Niigata Physical Therapy Department has organized several overseas study tours for its students. More than 100 students have participated in these tours to date. In this report, we describe the achievements of these study tours and of the recently developed exchange programs with our partner universities in the Philippines. For students in an allied health field, traveling abroad to observe and interact with international systems elated to their studies and discussing this experience with a group that includes international students can be a worthwhile opportunity.
