His teaching method—structured around demonstrations, hands-on practice, and work in pairs and small groups—enabled students to discover and assimilate these techniques in a secure and dynamic learning environment that fostered dialogue and mutual learning. Dr. Butts’s ability to teach in English while ensuring students felt at ease contributed to their active participation, well beyond any language barrier.

For 3rd-year students, an additional module on « circular pathology » therapy was co-led by Dr. Butts and Ms. Virginia Flores, a clinical nurse specialist trained in Florida. This session offered a genuine multidisciplinary physiotherapy–nursing approach to managing post-cancer and post-cosmetic surgery recovery. Students were introduced to drainage techniques derived from North American practices, broadening their perspective and providing an international and multireferential outlook on their future profession.

The hands-on, engaging workshops allowed students to practice drainage, manipulation, and bandaging techniques in realistic conditions, in pairs, within a collaborative and inquisitive atmosphere. This immersive experience not only strengthened their technical skills but also enhanced their professional openness and adaptability.
