Therapy Abroad helps students and professionals connect international experience with the next stage of their education and career. Supervised learning, conversations with clinicians, and exposure to different education and healthcare settings can help you make more informed choices and explain your developing interests with specific examples.
Undergraduate and post-baccalaureate programs
Externships, fieldwork, placements and Clinical Fellowships
International CEU workshops and customized group learning
For undergraduate and post-baccalaureate students, time alongside professionals can bring a field into focus. You may observe how a clinician communicates with a family, prepares an activity, or works with a teacher. Use those experiences to ask questions about graduate study, professional responsibilities, and the settings that interest you.
Programs in communication sciences and disorders, audiology, occupational therapy, physical therapy, nursing, public health, and related fields offer different learning opportunities. Choose the format that fits the experience you need.
Preparing for a camp activity, adapting to an unfamiliar routine, and discussing an observation with a supervisor give you material for reflection. Consider what you learned about communication, teamwork, problem solving, and professional judgment. Be specific about your contribution and the guidance you received.
Where you were and who you worked alongside.
What you were responsible for, stated accurately.
One specific moment and what it taught you.
What you would do differently now.
Graduate SLP externships, OT fieldwork, and DPT clinical placements can provide opportunities to learn within a different service system. The right placement depends on your university’s objectives, the host site, available supervision, and your stage of training. Work with your clinical education coordinator before committing to a placement.
Eligible SLP graduates can also explore Clinical Fellowship opportunities. Discuss mentorship, professional requirements, and the proposed role early so you understand how the placement could fit your path toward certification.
International CEU workshops give practicing clinicians time to examine cultural and linguistic diversity with colleagues and educators. Professional volunteer opportunities and supervisory roles offer additional ways to contribute experience and learn from others. Workshop content and credit eligibility depend on the specific event.
School district teams can connect international professional learning to priorities at home, including communication with multilingual families, inclusive participation, and understanding different cultural perspectives. Customized program planning begins with the district’s learning goals and the people the team serves.
Keep an accurate record of your activities and approved hours, reflect on questions that remain, and identify a next step. That might be discussing a graduate specialty with an advisor, seeking further supervised experience, or bringing a new question to your school or clinical team. Your experience is most useful when you can explain what it taught you and what you still need to learn.
An experience can give you examples of learning, reflection, and informed interest in your field. Admission decisions depend on the university’s criteria and your full application; participation does not guarantee admission.
Some programs offer documented hours. The type and amount depend on the activities, supervision, and program format. Ask your university to confirm acceptance and documentation requirements before enrolling.
No. Therapy Abroad also serves practicing clinicians, educators, school districts, faculty, and eligible clinical fellows through professional learning, placements, and customized programs.
