I’m a physiotherapy student from Hungary, and I would like to do an Erasmus+ traineeship somewhere in the EU after finishing my studies.

I would like to ask if anyone here has done an Erasmus+ internship as a physiotherapy student/physiotherapist and could recommend clinics or rehabilitation centers where I could apply. I’d especially appreciate recommendations based on personal experience, places where the clinic, the team/community, and the city itself were all a good experience.
I’m open to different countries and fields (sports physio, neuro rehab, etc.), so any suggestions or contacts would be very helpful.

Thank you!

Hi everyone,

I am a physiotherapy student from Hungary and I will hopefully do an Erasmus+ traineeship in Italy, starting from October 2026.

The clinic told me that before/during my traineeship I need to complete:
- a 4-hour General Safety Training Course
- a 12-hour High-Risk Workplace Safety Course

They also mentioned that this is required for healthcare environments.
Is this actually a normal requirement in Italy for Erasmus+ physiotherapy trainees or healthcare students?
Did anyone else have to complete these safety courses before starting an internship in Italy?

Thanks!
