The ExerScience Center

Physical Thersapy Internship

May - August 2023 • Lutz, FL

What I liked

As a former undergraduate intern at the ExerScience center. I can easily say that this was an amazing starting point for me on my journey to become a Physical Therapist (PT). Dr.Lauren provided me with a variety of resources to keep track of my hours, provided me access with medical terms used within the feild/learning units that can further help me understand what goes in within PT, tips with patient care, and more. She even mentioned alternative career paths in case PT may not be the career you are fully committed too, or have some alight adjustments about. Dr.Lauren is an amazing person to shadow under, as she puts emphasis on making sure each intern (and patients) feels like they are learning something, while making sure they are comfortable. If you are interested in interning within PT, but are unsure where to start. I highly recommend the ExerScience center.

What I wish was different

The only major things would have been to fill out a proper HIPPA form, and to be more involved in patients. Outside of that, it still was a very good experience!

Advice

Make sure you are ready to be physically active while on the internship. Such as stretching and doing a light exercise before going in.
