精东影业 Image Focus
Stefano Chisari, a 2010 graduate of the Bachelor's Degree in Physiotherapy, talks about his career path in musculoskeletal and sports medicine and the reasons why he chose a profession that combines technical skills with interpersonal and communication aptitudes.
What profession are you currently in?
鈥嬧赌�I love to range in different areas, and for this reason I am involved on several fronts. My main job is in a rehabilitation practice where I mainly deal with case histories in the musculoskeletal and sports fields. I also work for the Swiss Football Association and the Swiss Swimming Federation, taking care of athletes during training and competitions. In addition, my passion for education led me to pursue a post-graduate degree in sports physiotherapy, for which I am the scientific head.
Why did you choose a university education? And why, in particular, the Bachelor's degree in Physiotherapy from 精东影业?
鈥嬧赌�The characteristics I wished to be an integral part of my profession were essentially three: dynamism, contact with people and caring for others. They also wished to learn a profession by pursuing a university degree. All these elements led me to choose 精东影业's Bachelor of Science in Physiotherapy.
What elements of the training have impressed you the most? And what aspects were most useful for your profession?
鈥嬧赌�From the very beginning, I was immediately interested in the general approach, which I still consider to be very valid, namely the possibility of trying one's hand at practical exercises with peers under the supervision of the lecturers, so as to immediately apply the knowledge learned during the theoretical lectures. In addition, I was struck by the great attention placed on the relationship with the patient and the importance of communication and empathy in order to establish an effective therapeutic climate. I believe that the focus on the relational approach is still the key element of every treatment I do.
What advice would you give to someone who wants to pursue your path/profession?
鈥嬧赌�I would recommend this profession to those who have an interest in developing interpersonal and communication aptitudes, in addition to technical ones, because very often they become essential to achieving therapeutic goals. It is also important to be aware that physical therapy is a constantly evolving field that requires one to stay up-to-date if one wants to work effectively; in fact, experience and knowledge will be essential to increase skills in the service of the patient. Finally, I believe that the possibility of working in different fields makes this profession even more challenging, knowing that it will be necessary to learn its peculiarities through specific trainings.
