EduGlobal Associates
Spend a rotation in Italy. Come home a different clinician.
Six to twelve weeks treating patients alongside physiotherapists in Italy, Switzerland or Luxembourg — inside a health system where care is a constitutional right, not a benefit. You'll live in the town where you train, and the two halves don't come apart.
Places available now
We still have places for Fall 2027.
A handful of our sites have room left in the fall 2027 cohort. There's no application to fill in at this stage — tell us which site interests you and roughly when, and we'll take it from there.

Where you'll go
Sites in Italy, Switzerland, and Luxembourg.
25 partner clinics across Tuscany, Veneto, Emilia-Romagna, Lombardy, Piedmont, Campania, Lazio, Umbria, and Ticino, plus Luxembourg City. We chose each one for the expertise of its clinicians and their willingness to teach — and each page tells you what it costs, where you'd live and how you'd get to work.
About EduGlobal
A non-profit that puts you somewhere genuinely unfamiliar.
Since 2006 we've sent students from more than sixty-five US programs to work in European clinics.
The work isn't only about clinical hours. You'll treat European patients alongside European clinicians, navigate a different way of delivering care, and watch what changes when access isn't the question anyone is asking. You'll come home with sharper hands, broader judgment, and a perspective that stays with you for the rest of your career.
Why students choose EduGlobal
Hands-on practice, multidisciplinary teams, cultural immersion.
Hands-on experience
Real caseloads, real patients
You'll build manual therapy, exercise prescription and communication skills against a caseload that doesn't narrow down — orthopedic, neurological, sports, pediatric, pelvic floor, cardiopulmonary.
Multidisciplinary teams
Learn from European clinicians
You'll work alongside physiotherapists, physicians and rehabilitation specialists trained in approaches you won't meet at home — McKenzie, osteopathic manual therapy, isokinetic testing.
Cultural immersion
Live where you learn
You'll live in the town where you train — a walled Tuscan city, a village in the Apennines, the old quarter of Luxembourg. You'll shop where your patients shop. On Friday afternoons the trains are cheap and the Dolomites are four hours away.
From recent students
In their words.
10/10 — the site was excellent, the people were beyond expectations, and I learned more than I could have hoped for.
Christopher Garcia, SPT

Cabinet de Kine Frecon Aroldi · Summer 2025
The site was amazing. I loved both of my CIs and learned a lot about Italian culture and how it affects patient care and values.
Nina Soffer, SPT
Drexel University
Istituto Clinico Tiberino · Winter 2025
The instructors clearly showed their skill set and knowledge, and the caseload included a wide range of patients and diagnoses.
