The Department of Physiotherapy at Tishk International University is pleased to announce the successful completion of another phase of the summer clinical training program, conducted from 27 July to 8 August 2026 at MoveWell Clinic, Erbil. This training provided physiotherapy students with an important opportunity to strengthen their clinical knowledge and skills through direct exposure to a professional physiotherapy and rehabilitation environment.
Throughout the training period, students had the opportunity to observe and participate in clinical practice, further developing their understanding of patient assessment, clinical reasoning, treatment planning, therapeutic interventions, and rehabilitation management. The experience enabled them to connect the theoretical knowledge gained through their university courses with practical applications and to develop greater confidence in communicating with patients and working within a clinical setting.
Clinical placements such as this play an essential role in preparing future physiotherapists by enhancing practical competencies, professional communication, teamwork, ethical awareness, and patient-centered care. Exposure to a real clinical environment also helps students better understand the responsibilities of physiotherapists and the importance of individualized rehabilitation programs based on each patient’s needs and functional goals.
The training was organized and supervised by Mr. Mahmood Soran and PT Paiwand Mamand from the Department of Physiotherapy at Tishk International University, whose coordination and guidance contributed to the successful implementation of the program. The Department of Physiotherapy sincerely appreciates Dr. Shahla Barzani, Director of MoveWell Clinic, and the clinic’s professional team for their valuable support, guidance, and commitment to providing students with a meaningful clinical learning experience. The department remains committed to strengthening partnerships with healthcare institutions and providing students with high-quality clinical opportunities that contribute to their academic, professional, and personal development.
