In addition, you will train with a team of lecturers highly qualified for teaching and linked to the professional world. What are the main characteristics of the teaching staff?

First of all, it should be noted its dual profile: that of academic-researcher and that of active professional. Most of the lecturers have PhDs and are specialised; they come from prestigious foreign universities and have a great vocation for university teaching, as well as extensive experience in both the academic and professional field. Their ongoing link with the day-to-day reality of the profession, allows them to keep the contents and methodologies they employ constantly up to date.

Notable among the teaching staff of the Degree in International Physiotherapy include professionals of the stature of: Mariano Gacto, Director of this Degree served professionally as a Physiotherapist in the Spanish and French Public Healthcare Services for six years. He has also participated in various international congresses and forms a part of the committee of experts for journals specialising in the field of Public Health (JCR).

In addition, she has completed two research fellowships, one at the CNRS in Montpellier (France) and the other at the University of Cambridge (United Kingdom).

In this same line, the following lecturers stand out: Francesc Xavier Prat, a graduate in psychology, has participated in a research visit to the University of Cranfield (United Kingdom) and is the author of several studies, published in international journals; Rocío Díaz, a dermatologist, who was awarded a scholarship to visit the XLAB laboratory for young students in Göttingem (Lower Saxony), accompanied by the Nobel Prize winner, Dr. Erwin Neher; also noteworthy is the lecturer Joaquin Chaler, a doctor specialising in physical medicine and rehabilitation, who has participated in 25 research papers at a national and international level, and who has also attended as a speaker in more than 30 conferences specialising in health, as well as being chief editor of the journal Isokinetics & Exercise Science.

Other great professionals are: Lucy Hackney, graduate in psychology and sociology at the University of Leicester, with extensive experience as a physiotherapist in the British public health system and also in the private sphere; Javier Jerez, wih a PhD in public health from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (Natal, Brazil), also with extensive experience in the public and private health system, and Samuel Young, with a degree in Physiotherapy from the University of Melbourne, specialising in the area of musculoskeletal and sports physiotherapy. He has extensive professional experience, having worked in several regional hospitals in Western Australia; he provided primary care to aboriginal communities in Northern Australia and has also worked as a physiotherapist at several clinics and sports clubs in Melbourne, Ireland and the United Kingdom.
