Physical Therapy Intern

May - July 2019 • Dexter, MO

What I liked

I enjoyed learning from both the physicians and the patients about what Physical Therapy means as a profession. They were able to give insight into the career beyond what a website or information packet can give.

What I wish was different

I wish that I had been paid for this internship. It is rare for a PT internship to be paid, and I wish that this would be changed.

Advice

Be willing to ask questions and curious, if there is anything you don't understand, speak up. All the professionals I worked with enjoyed sharing their knowledge with me, but it was typical for me to pursue the information. It's an amazing experience and I encourage that future students make the most of it.

Physical Therapist Volunteer

May - August 2019 • Anaheim, CA

What I liked

I loved being able to work with patients and helping them with their injuries. I also loved gaining so much knowledge about different exercises that help certain muscles become stronger to help with certain injuries.

What I wish was different

I wish I could have volunteered for more time but I need to branch out and volunteer at different clinics or hospitals.

Advice

One piece of advice would be to ask questions because that is how you gain knowledge.

PT Tech

Having the ability work with different equipment hands on.

No cleaning and doing so much laundry.
