Abstract

Background and Purpose: Internationalization allows the world of higher education to become more connected. International partnerships between physical therapist education programs open new opportunities for learning and cultural exchange. Relatively few international collaborative immersion experiences have been described in the physical therapy literature. The purpose of this article is to describe a model of international educational collaboration between physical therapist education programs at 2 universities in different countries. This collaboration was unique because it provided qualitative analyses of data collected from hosts and guests during the experience.
