\n

Fifteen international learners participated in the UNMC Summer Experiential Education (SEED) program in physical therapy, which gives students an opportunity to develop a global perspective on rehabilitation and learn about physical therapy in the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joseph Siu, PhD, professor for the UNMC Physical Therapy Program and director of global health opportunities in the UNMC College of Allied Health Profession, said, \u201cI see their hard work and passion for learning. Coming to UNMC and adapting to a new learning environment in a short period of time is not an easy task, but the SEED scholars did it and were highly successful.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hannah Tong, PhD, executive director of academic partnerships with the UNMC Office of Global Engagement, said the organizers were excited to welcome back students for the first in-person SEED program since the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis program offers a unique and invaluable opportunity for students to gain experience, exchange knowledge and forge lasting connections that will shape their professional journeys,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SEED program, administered by the office of global engagement and delivered by the UNMC Physical Therapy Program, is a two-week, in-person summer program designed for international physical therapy and rehabilitation students. It includes lectures by UNMC physical therapy faculty, research experience, clinical observation and cultural activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lecture topics included an introduction to U.S. physical therapy education, major topics in physical therapy, including neurology, musculoskeletal, cardiopulmonary and pediatric physical therapy, evidence-based practice and professionalism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Faculty took students to UNMC\u2019s cutting-edge Wellness Innovation Clinical Research Lab. Students also visited different physical therapy and rehabilitation clinical settings in Omaha, including Madonna Rehabilitation Hospital, Nebraska Medicine and Quality Living Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis program has not only improved my understanding of physical therapy but also broadened my perspective on the field,\u201d said program participant Dinis Vasco Maria da Conceicao. \u201cI\u2019ve gained not just knowledge but also a sense of duty and the right attitude toward what defines physical therapy.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
