Program Reviews:
Summer 2024 Participant
This program taught me the importance of flexibility and adaptability in clinical settings, as well as the value of building rapport with clients through both verbal and non-verbal communication. Future students should be aware of the potential for culture shock and understand that these differences are natural. Preparing with tools like Google Translate and learning basic local phrases will help enrich interactions with locals. Finally, understanding and respecting cultural differences, such as Bulgaria's rich history and traditions, can enhance the overall experience and foster better interactions with local individuals.

Summer 2024 Participant
My favorite part of this program was the clinical days we got to experience. I got to experience first hand therapy experiences with multiple populations of people, while collaborating with peers.

Summer 2026 Participant
I found the interpersonal and cultural aspects of the program to be the most rewarding. I was able to build meaningful connections with the people we met at the different facilities while gaining a deeper understanding of Bulgarian culture through conversation, music and dance. I also found it rewarding to see the positive impact that interdisciplinary collaboration between music therapy and speech-language pathology had on the clients.
