Physical Therapy
Contact: Physical Therapy Department, 101 Student Health Center
University Health Services Physical Therapy (PT) is dedicated to serving students with neuromusculoskeletal injuries. Their goal is to facilitate the recovery of the patient to their desired level of activity.
The PT volunteer and internship programs offers opportunities for students who are interested in pursuing a career in physical therapy or other health related fields. Student volunteers are encouraged to observe the physical therapist/physical therapist assistant/athletic trainer-patient interaction and ask questions.
Opportunities may arise for student volunteers to follow a patient through their exercise program. Training for PT volunteers and intern takes place at the beginning of each semester. Training includes an administrative and an infection control orientation conducted by UHS staff. Orientation specific to the PT Department is conducted by the PT staff.
For an application to be a PT volunteer or intern, visit room 101 in the Student Health Center.
