Abstract

This summer, I worked as a Physical Therapy Aide at Atlas Physical Therapy PC in Buckingham, PA. Throughout this internship, I gained experience observing the daily routines of the head physical therapist, assisting with patient care, and completing clerical tasks. My communication and professionalism skills were enhanced due to daily interactions with patients and coworkers. Additionally, organization and time management skills were essential in completing clerical tasks at the front desk such as scheduling, patient intakes, and filing. This experience provided me with great insight into what the physical therapy field offers and has further shaped my career goals.
