Student Intern - Physical Therapy (Spring)
About The Position
Valley Children’s physical therapists provide patient- and family-centered care to children with impaired mobility and functional limitations caused by injury, disease, or disability. They aim to improve children’s independence by restoring movement, mobility, and function, and work with patients and caregivers on individualized treatment plans and ways to support therapy goals at home. The program serves a diverse pediatric population, from infants to older adolescents, across outpatient therapy, inpatient rehabilitation, acute and critical care (including NICU and PICU), multidisciplinary clinics, rehabilitation follow-up, rheumatology, hematology, MDA/neuromuscular disease, cystic fibrosis, and hypertonicity/spasticity services. This internship provides an opportunity to contribute to hospital initiatives and special projects in an assigned area. There is no hands-on patient care. Under close supervision, the intern performs entry-level professional duties and receives training across hospital departments. Assignments may include gathering and organizing data for special projects or reports, helping prepare written reports, filing, accompanying professional-level employees on assignments, and using hospital- or department-specific software.
