None is excellent; the professor explains in a concise and easy-to-understand way, there are many patients to practice on, and his staff is excellent, friendly, and helpful. Good about the program: a great experience, I felt at home; Any scope for improvement: 2 weeks are not enough to learn more than the basics, but thanks to the professor I feel very confident.

Ideally, people who are interested should have some basic knowledge of Italian, or even Spanish. It's a small city so not a lot of people can speak English. This experience was everything i hoped for! Vincenzo is passionate, he's extremely good at explaining the concepts and also very patient, even when he has to repeat himself. It was 100% worth it. I loved every day there and I can't wait for the opportunity to apply the knowledge acquired
