Program Reviews

I was on the trip to Belize for CSD! Everyone was so amazing and supportive- both our supervisors and our hosts from Belize. We were always supplied water and food. All our accommodations were clean and had air conditioning (which was appreciated as it was very hot!). We had many activities planned which were fun and well organized. We also were taught many valuable skills by our supervisors who were licensed SLPs. We got to help so many clients in need of therapy, which was life changing. Overall, it was a great program!

I could write a book about the amazing experience that I had with the therapy abroad team in Belize. I am a PhD student, and a licensed speech language pathologist. I am comforted by knowing that therapy abroad will provide continued services to the amazing students that I met and evaluated while in Belize. Our housing, excursions, and meals were all absolutely amazing. They paid attention to details, and made each of us feel safe and special. I would recommend this program to absolutely anyone thinking about going. Chad , Justin, Jamie, and everyone on the therapy abroad team are a joy to work with.

This was honestly a surreal experience. I learned so much and made amazing relationships with my fellow classmates and had the best time. The teachers were incredibly helpful and informative. We learned quite a bit and the hands-on experience is unlike any other. Belize is amazing and incredibly hot (so beware of that). The Cayes were amazing and it was nice to be able to relax after all the hard work we accomplished. It’s an experience unlike any other. So thankful I was able to experience this awesome trip abroad!

This trip was amazing! I’m so glad I attended. This trip has given me the hands on experience of what it’s like as an SLP, plus has given me the interest of becoming a travel SLP too. Not only that, but this trip has allowed me to step out of my comfort zone as well, and try things I’ve never done or thought about before. I’m so grateful for Therapy Abroad and the faculty of my university for creating & offering this once in a lifetime opportunity. I would definitely recommend this trip to everyone!

I was so hesitant at first to go out of the country alone for the first time. But, this trip will be an unforgettable experience and made such a positive impact both personally and professionally. My heart is full from working with the children, indulging myself in a new culture and lifestyle, and making new friendships. Despite the trip being postponed due to Houston weather, Therapy Abroad made the accommodations and made it happen. They truly care about us and will make the necessary arrangements. Shoutout to the TA team!

Therapy abroad helped me in so many ways! I learned so much about the physical therapy profession and the amazing people of San Ignacio, Belize! I was very excited to learn about the culture in Belize and got just that! Being able to be exposed to such a diverse and medically complex population was absolutely vital in my experience with therapy abroad! I was able to grow, learn, and adapt from patient to patient.This would not have been possible without therapy abroad! I absolutely would recommend therapy abroad to anyone and fully plan on attending again!

As a physical therapy student, I highly recommend taking a service trip with Therapy Abroad! Everyone we interacted with was extremely helpful, friendly, and excited to have us in Belize! The lectures we had on the country's culture and healthcare were very informative and useful as we interacted with people in the community. Treating all of our patients in various settings was my favorite part of the trip because we got to build relationships with them and other members of our group!! I also enjoyed sightseeing within San Ignacio and eating dinner in local restaurants each night! Therapy Abroad helped everything go so smoothly!!

Our Doctor of Physical Therapy Program from High Point travelled to Belize and it was an unforgettable experience! We had the opportunity to treat people of all age ranges that presented with various complexities. I appreciated learning about the culture and the medical system in the country. The presentations were very informative and well structured. TherapyAbroad's accommodations were great for our group and their communication with us was very proactive! This trip was filled with so many wonderful memories and I would definitely recommend it to any student that is interested!
