Great job opportunities are hard to find.
You have the knowledge and skills to make a difference in their lives, but you haven't been given the opportunity to practice to the full extent of your abilities. You want meaningful work experience and crave adventure.
World Spine Care understands. Since 2011, 60+ volunteers have treated over 60,000 patients through our 7 clinics in 5 countries where they gained unmatched clinical experience. Our clinicians treat cases that they would not see at home. This allows them to gain experience that sets them apart from their peers in the job market.
We believe that well-trained physical therapists are ideally prepared to provide high-quality spine care to those in need.
That’s why when you commit to volunteering with World Spine Care, you can have a meaningful, career-building experience and provide care to those who need it most while exploring the world.
