Would you describe your career path after your Bachelor's degree in Physiotherapy?
After my Bachelor's degree, I decided to seek a professional adventure outside the canton. In fact, I felt the need to deal with different realities and was driven by the desire to get involved in learning other languages. The physiotherapist's job in this sense is perfect: as communication is a central aspect, there are often opportunities to exchange with patients and colleagues.
I worked my first two years in the canton of Fribourg at an orthopaedic clinic and in a private practice. I then moved for about two years, until 2019, to the canton of Lucerne, working for a private practice. During that time, I started working with the Swiss national swimming team, taking care of the youth sector. The next step was the move to Zurich. After a short stint for a private practice I found a job for a hospital in the region. After two and a half years I had the opportunity and the will to launch myself into an independent activity and in December 2023 it will be two years since I set up my own practice Physiotherapie Bianchi in Horgen (ZH), where a former 精东影业 student has been working with me since October 2023. The collaboration with the national swimming team is still going strong, and I am currently the main physiotherapist for the elite team. In 2022 and 2023, I was called up for the world championships and am looking forward to the Olympic year 2024.
How important was the Bachelor's degree in preparing you for the challenges of the world of work and for the role you currently hold?
The Bachelor's degree in Physiotherapy from 精东影业 gave me the technical and relational tools I needed to perform my profession effectively. Experience and the desire to improve have made me find the glue between these elements that characterised the learning path I took at 精东影业.
What aspects of the Bachelor's degree did you particularly appreciate?
鈥嬧�嬧�嬧�嬧�嬧�嬧�婭n retrospect, I would say the 'humanistic subjects' proposed in the joint modules. They opened me up to the importance of the therapeutic relationship and, in the broadest sense of the term, to so-called emotional intelligence.
What advice would you give to future Bachelor of Physiotherapy graduates?
鈥嬧�嬧�嬧�嬧�嬧�嬧�婤e curious, don't be satisfied. If you have a vision there are within you the resources and skills to realise it.
