Therapy Abroad is unique! No other program offers group travel, study abroad, and professional development experiences designed exclusively for communication sciences and disorders, speech-language pathology, audiology, physical therapy, occupational therapy, music therapy, and other related fields. Simply put, our programs are for anyone aspiring to work in one of these career fields who really want to experience hands-on learning in a real-world setting or for anyone who wants to share their knowledge with the world and give back.

Each and every aspect of our programs including the activities, curriculum, logistics, housing, meals, classes, materials, and tours is designed by our small group of professionals. We want to set ourselves apart by offering a limited number of programs that deliver a high-quality experience. We recognize that there are a lot of other options out there if you simply want to travel overseas, but no other program provides group study abroad opportunities specifically for students aspiring to become SLPs, AuDs, PTs, OTs, MTs and professional development opportunities designed just for you. If you are an undergraduate, graduate student, or professional, our commitment to you is that we will create the type of out-of-classroom learning environment, professional development, and overseas travel experience that you can’t find anywhere else.

IF YOU ARE A PROFESSIONAL

Every year Therapy Abroad provides new opportunities for professionals to travel overseas and give back. We specialize in designing group trips for professional clinicians who want to share their skills through direct interventions, capacity building and training, and community outreach. Whether you are new to your field, mid-career or retired, our programs are designed for life-long learners and adventurers to gain valuable cross-cultural competencies as well as interdisciplinary intervention skills, cross-cultural communication skills, and professional development facilitation skills. Bring back unique perspectives and practices from abroad that can be incorporated into your practice, as well as skills and knowledge that you gain from your travel group. Meet new people, learn about potential opportunities to practice overseas, grow your network and give back to communities in need.
