I was the only Master’s Physical Therapy student in my Erasmus+ Batch. The experience was everything I had heard about and more. The teachers were all cooperative and amazing. I really appreciate Mr. Łukasz Szymczak because he gave me the chance to visit his clinic and gain practical experience under his supervision. I didn’t know whom to ask at first and only approached Mr. Szymczak in the last three days before my departure. Though it was just for three days, it was the most productive and enriching experience of my time there.
I’m happy Mr. Szymczak provided this opportunity, and I strongly recommend that future students who are passionate about clinical experience actively seek or ask teachers for similar opportunities during their mobility in their spare time.
I would also suggest incorporating a few clinical practice classes, perhaps at Kalisz’s own hospital if possible, to benefit physical therapy students even more. Erasmus and my time in Kalisz allowed me to visit six different countries and explore so much. I felt so much freer and more independent during my Erasmus, which boosted my confidence even more. I am truly grateful for the experience and the opportunities it brought.
