Busy times

Erasmus news from Portugal

 Erasmus students in Lisbon are really busy at the moment. Right now at least we can not complain about the weather because it is sunny and warm. 
But I must say that Erasmus does not mean only parties, travelling, new friends and sightseeing. We have  lot of work to do, at the moment I took a break and thought I should write about the schoolwork. In our physiotherapy course we have to compose two case studies of different fields of PT, but since we have to present something to Estonia also and there we have three different internships this year, then we do three case reports. Our reports are not just anamnesis and assessment of patients, they mean thorough research of the diagnosis, assessment  and reassessment, therapy program, discussion and so on.
In addition we have to put together a final report portfolio which contains  introduction (goals of therapy etc), characterization of the institution where took place the first module and the second module, diary of all the work done by the student during internship, records of assessments done... 
More, on 6th of June we have a presentation to all of physiotherapy teachers and collegues, there we have to present one of our patients, describe the treatment and other physiotherapy options , we have to justify why did we choose this kind of therapy for the diagnose and not some other and so on. 

Yes, Erasmus does not mean only fun fun and fun, it also means hard work, but I like what I do and I enjoy learning more and more about physiotherapy so I am not complaining. 

To show how beautiful is the surrounding of Lisbon, I'll add some pictures of Joa Pedro and Estoril. :)










Yes, we have time for the beach, for the tourism... but always lack of time for schoolwork :D !
