Second years Justin, Tenzin, Chris, and Matt completed their Broadening Experience in India! They spent time observing various settings within a hospital, and were able to see surgical procedures in person. There was also plenty of sight-seeing to do, including a Hindu temple!
2nd years Alli, Kristen, Melisa, and Grace went to Peru for their Broadening Experience. They observed different departments within Es Salud Hospital, including neuro pediatrics, amputation/diabetic foot pain, and the pain clinic. They even hiked the Inca Trail to Macchu Picchu!
2nd year Brian Dube completed his Broadening Trip in Japan during winter break! While in Japan, he worked extensively with the senior care system, as well as delivered lectures about PT in the U.S to students and faculty at Kio University and Kyorin University. Great job Brian!
The second years (and some faculty!) celebrated the end of their final exams with ugly Christmas sweaters! Wishing you a safe and happy holiday from all of us at the URI Department of Physical Therapy!!
