During the course of my stay, myself and two other interns created a webpage that enhanced the Recreation Therapy staff discharge community resource guide. Within this webpage, we provided information on three Toronto districts in regards to the community resources that could be provided to the patients once discharged from the hospital and back into their community. Our main focus was

As a natural born resident of the City of Long Branch, I personally have gone to admire and appreciate the level of professionalism in our police officers in which govern our community. I have ultimately come to understand this high standard of professionalism and leadership has been properly groomed over generations. Thus, in my closing year at Saint Peter’s University in a concentration of criminal justice, I have taken significant interest in applying directly to Long Branch Police Department.

St. Mary’s Medical Center Health Scholar: As a clinical volunteer, I get to experience the hospital as one of its member. Its rotational department system allows me to explore different aspects of the

I was nervous at first because this was this was my first field work, and had just started the Therapeutic Recreational program. Nichole Cummins was aware of this and made me comfortable in my new venture at the St. Joseph’s Impatient Rehabilitation Unit. I discussed my goals with her before starting the field work. The unit is on the 4th floor of the main hospital. Files of patients are filed in a secure cabinet. My field work was 60 hours of experience. My goals were to learn about documentation, program planning, and activity modification.

Hope everything is going well for you. Thank you so much for helping me search an internship opportunity at UCLA Health this summer. I once again want to let you know that I am very interested in working for UCLA Health after graduation. May I ask if you have heard from the Hospital's Finance Directors? I am willing to provide any information you need during the searching process and am eager to hear from you.

Being a part of the Health Professions Academy has granted me an oppurtunity to participate in a hospital internship at the North Shore Forest Hills Hospital . This amazing oppurtunity has allowed me

I volunteer in the activity department of an acute rehab facility. I help the employees and the residents. I provide support, both mentally and physically, to the residents through different activities. I help the staff transport the residents to the activity hall from their rooms, serve food, feed the residents and converse with them to relieve their stress. By assisting the residents, I relieve the employees of this department from their work temporarily. This allows them to complete their documentation, audits, and other works on time.

I am extremely interested in joining your program as I am convinced that your residency program would be ideal for my training and I shall be able to accomplish my career goals at your program.

I am interested in the Research Associate Internship program because it will allow me to be competitive in a meaningful career, build professional skills, and give me more of a chance to succeed in my higher education. For example, my professional goal is to become a Physician Assistant, because I want to assist physicians in curing illnesses, alleviating pain, and helping patients to have better futures. By joining the medical field, I hope to serve our community more. To get a further understanding of the medical field, I volunteered at the Maimonides Medical Center for five months and had a great experience connecting with patients. As a patient representative, I was provided the chance to visit patients’ rooms at the surgical unit, where

I accumulated over 100 observation hours in rehabilitation, pediatrics, and post surgery therapy. By interacting with a wide variety of people, these experiences further developed my interpersonal communication skills. From helping children to grasp a pencil, to aiding elder patients recovering from surgery, I understood how OT’s could benefit people of all ages and abilities across a lifespan. I learned hands on how the therapeutic use of everyday activities could help individuals live functional lives through the use of meaningful occupations. By working with individuals who face a challenge, I was able to show compassion and empathy when caring for others, which in turn gave me self-fulfillment in my own

During my time spent interacting with residents with physical and mental disabilities, I was able to gain a better understanding of what the resident experiences during everyday life. I was able to observe the everyday challenges of living with the different disabilities. I witnessed the profound effect that mental health has on the quality of life and the outlook on life for an individual. I hoped to observe positive treatment and individuals of the individuals staying there and I witnessed just that. I obtained a better understanding of the experiences and feelings of the residents living there. My knowledge of the mind/ body interaction was strengthened during my time spent volunteering.

During my internship, I could apply the knowledge and skills learned from my core courses. This experience will allow me to work with John Hopkins Outpatient Pharmacy Operations Manager, Toni Carter-Radden and Johns Hopkins Clinical Infusion Pharmacy Manager, Michael Grimes and acquire insights into the management through observation, participation, and practical application of administrative skills.

The internship that I acquired during the summer of 2010 at the Greenwood Sports and Industrial Rehabilitation Center (GSIRC), allowed me to gain an immeasurable amount of experience during my tenure at this facility. Within this period, the exposure to new concepts within the physical therapy industry allowed me to observe and work hands on with patients of all ages and disabilities that exposed me to various treatment plans and programs to restore client’s mobility. The essential Physical Education and Exercise Science (PEES) courses taken at Lander University were beneficial to my academic knowledgebase, which prepared me and developed me for the opportunity within the physical therapy discipline.
