These meetings covered curriculum implementation, practical training and internship processes, infrastructure facilities and collaborations with the sector. The classrooms, the physiotherapy practice laboratory and the social areas were examined on site. On the second day, the topics remaining from the first day were completed. The team also held one-on-one interviews with students, administrative staff and support units.
