to experience the environment and functions of different departments in a hospital. The hospital internship has allowed me to aid patients in need and gain knowledge pertaining to the different aspects of a hospital. Upon first learning about the Health Professions Academy, engaging in a hospital

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.

As an intern at Bridgepoint Active Healthcare, my responsibilities were the following: reviewing patients charts, documenting admissions, administering activity screens, documenting progress notes and discharges within the computer system, providing one on one programs with patients, assisting in large group programs and participating during clinical rounds. 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

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.

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.

I’ve been grateful for this opportunity to immerse myself in the medical workplace and learn from actual doctors. My internship has allowed me to see the real side of medicine—that it is more than just “playing doctor” --it is hard work and calls for dedication to your profession. It has helped me to understand that going into the healthcare field requires passion for helping and caring for people. I can see this every day in the nurses and surgeons I work with and enjoy working alongside

The range of training and the facilities impressed me. Specifically, the educational opportunities and the clinical experiences that the program offers is appealing.

I used many of my previous skills, to complete my internship. My education knowledge was put to the test; which is what I expected. The power-point related to Healthcare Management within the following courses: Managed Care, Quality Healthcare, Org. & Del Healthcare, Principles of Management, Adv. Microcomputer Apps, and Strategies for Decision Making.

They must try to adjust to an environment that is traditionally designed to meet geriatric-based medical and emotional care needs. Due to their age, the small/large group planned programs are not age appropriate nor of interest to them. Many individuals living in long-term and residential care do not pursue independent leisure activities because of their diagnosis and require programs and one-to-one activities. Typically programming is centered on the needs of the older individuals who are the majority in this environment and those that are under the age of 65 may not be having their needs met. This paper will look at who these individuals are and how therapeutic recreation can appropriately meet their leisure and recreation

Initially, when I was looking for an internship to fulfill my Health Science 4975 class, I was trying to find an opportunity in a hospital or outpatient setting in physical therapy. It became apparent that that would be harder to accomplish than previously estimated. What I did stumble upon though, was a post for interns at Tiger Academy of Gymnastics looking for people to work with kids with various mental and physical disabilities. I chose this internship because even though I was not in a formal physical therapy setting, I would still have the opportunity to help kids improve their mobility, and social interaction. Furthermore, I would be doing this under the supervision of an assistant teaching professor at the University of Missouri, who taught physical therapy related classes.

Intern - I worked full time in a hospital rotating in between the departments of internal medicine, surgery, gynecology and obstetrics, emergency room, and pediatrics. I was responsible for admitting and discharging patients, for answering night shift calls, for working in collaboration with the other health care staff, for answering night shift calls, for documenting and performing a complete history and physical exam, for ordering lab and image tests, and develop a treatment plan under the supervision of the attending physician. Additionally I wrote admission, progress, and discharge notes and educated patients regarding their health status, treatment, and discharge planning.

This summer has by far been the most meaningful due to my internship at the Lloyd Moss Free Clinic. I had a wonderful opportunity to use my summer before college to explore healthcare professions and learn how a free clinic functions. Throughout my experience, I was exposed to many different professions within a clinic. My daily task consists of a wide variety of activities. I would begin by sorting and filing patient document, gathering charts for upcoming appointments, and helping the clinical operations director with projects regarding referrals. Then, I would continue my day at the call center. While assisting at the call center, I was able to learn what exactly each department handles at the clinic and I was exposed to a variety of terms

As a Therapeutic Recreation major, I was given the opportunity to attend courses that educates and prepares me for the future. For instance, courses such Assessment and Documentation, TR Modalities, and Health Promotion through Leisure Education gave me a foundation on how to plan and implement activities, educate the clients using the activities, and modify different activities for different populations. TR in Geriatric Service Settings course and my junior internship helped prepare me for a role in a geriatric setting. Having a junior internship gave me the opportunity to use the skills and techniques that I learned in class towards an actual population. It also allows me to see the importance of social support and client’s motivation. When the client isn’t motivated to participate in certain interventions, a responsibility of a quality of life coordinator and a TR is to communicate with family and friend(s) to develop a solution for the client’s case. With the foundation that Temple University provide and possible future opportunities, I believe I will be able to gain more knowledge and experience in this

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.
