Twenty-four Physical Therapy students from Fundación Universitaria María Cano, Cali campus, took part in an academic mobility experience in Medellín from November 5 to 7, strengthening their knowledge, sharing experiences, and discovering new perspectives on professional practice. The initiative, called “Comprehensive Physical Therapy Experience in Medellín,” combined hands-on learning, academic exchange, and opportunities to explore different cultural settings.

Over three days, participants engaged in activities related to physical activity, biomechanics, and clinical simulation, as well as visits to different practical training settings. These experiences allowed them to connect classroom knowledge with real-life situations involving functional assessment, human body movement, and decision-making in physical therapy.

One of the main contributions of this mobility experience was the encounter between the Cali and Medellín campuses, which encouraged the exchange of experiences among students and faculty members, collaborative work, and the recognition of different perspectives on professional practice. It was also an opportunity to build connections and open the door to future academic cooperation initiatives.

The program also included cultural activities and visits to iconic places in Medellín, introducing students to the city’s heritage and broadening their understanding of the relationship between the body, movement, and cultural diversity.

This experience reaffirms the value of academic mobility as an opportunity to broaden horizons, share knowledge, and strengthen comprehensive education. At María Cano, we connect our campuses so that learning goes beyond boundaries and our future professionals grow through new experiences.

We are a multicampus university, creating experiences that transform lives!
