Public Health Students Develop Multicultural Understanding of Disability in Serbia

October 2023

Last month, Professor of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences at Temple, Bryan P. McCormick, published, “Disability in Southeast Europe Qualitative Analysis of a Faculty-Led Study Abroad Program,” in the Therapeutic Recreation Journal.  

His article featured a summer program he leads in Belgrade, Serbia that enables juniors in Temple’s Recreational and Restorative Therapy Program to gain essential hands-on experience.  

Participating students hone their craft while filling their program’s internship requirement by working in social service programs for youth with disabilities. This five-week program was carried out in collaboration with the Special Education and Rehabilitation faculty at the University of Belgrade, to help students reach a diverse understanding of recreational therapy and its applications.
