I really enjoyed getting hands on experience.
I enjoyed working under a Physical Therapist that treats mostly orthopedic injuries and how her approach was.
It was such a great experience to greet patients and see learn how physical therapy consists on many things.
What I wish was different
Due to COVID-19 I was not able to shadow the therapist as much as I would have wanted, but overall it was a great experience.
Advice
Ask a lot of questions! and try to learn as much as you can from mistakes, experiences and the therapist.

What I liked
The best thing about this experience was the fact that the licensed would take time out of there bust day to explain things and wanted us to understand what they are trying to accomplished for the patients.
What I wish was different
I wish I was able to learn more about the front desk business portion of the clinic. Learning how to schedule appointments and getting a hold of a variety of insurance companies .
Advice
The best piece of advice I would give to somebody about this experience is to have patience. Everything within the clinic cannot be learned all within one day. Ask questions and learn everyday you get to be within the clinic and everything will all start to come together in the end.
