Physical Therapist

What is similar and/or different about the culture of your internship workplace environment compared to IHSL's school environment? Provide at least two specific examples.?

Well in your Internship its total completely different than school, in my case I have the Internship in the hospital and I work with many people, I must to be respectful, mature and responsible with my job, hospital its no a beauty place, because you see sick people or worse, School its just a space you can talk with your friends or teacher and also its a noise place but in the hospital is more a quiet place .The similar of this two places its both are many people and the big difference its that structure of the buildings and the purpose.

What new skills have you learned that you can apply at other jobs? For example, have you learned to become a better verbal communicator as a result of interacting with clients each day? If so, how and where could that skill help you get a job in the future?

Well during this Internship I learned how is important to know what skill do you need to be success in the carrier you want to study, I would like be .Physical Therapist because I like help people to get better first a all and second a all, I like sport and this carrier could do both in the same time so help people and have disciple its ones of important skill I learn in my Internship.

What kind of relationship do you have with your mentor and co-workers?

I have a good relationship with everybody. most of they make me smile because I some quiet sometimes, and some of them told me also get a carrier its the best thing I can do for my life and the same time help people its something great .
How have you grown as a result of interacting with professional adults?

Well in the Internship you must share with adult people that's means you must to talk mature and respectful all time and do not use bad vocabulary words or teenager style things so in this aspect I grown and get better.

What kinds of communication skills have you gained? Specifically, how has your English improved since beginning internship?

This internship is a great opportunity to see how is important to learn English, sometimes in my internship my supervisor talk fast and some times I do get it this make me feel no bad but embarrassing. but this make me practices more English with my brothers at home and improve myself

What other kinds of skills/abilities have you gained so far? Think of the tasks you complete and consider the abilities required to do those tasks. Provide specific examples such as: Each day at internship I'm required to interview patients and record their answers in a hospital database. As a result, I've gotten much better at listening and being able to ask follow up questions. I've also improved my hand writing abilities and typing speed because I have to record patient answers by hand and then type them later. ?

Well during my Internship, I'm like a assistant of my supervisor, I help my supervisor with the patient, I must to take note like blood pressure, clean a walker for the patient and also prepare the bed and help my supervisor with exercises the patient need to do to get better. Was no easy for the first days but I a flexible person and this skill help to learn faster what I have to do this all abilities I learned during my internship.

How has the altered internship schedule affected you? How have you reorganized your time to make sure you are getting all your class work done? If you're not getting your assignments done, what can you do for the remaining five weeks to ensure you earn better grades?

Well this internship makes more harder everything for you, in my case, Its no a be deal for me because I raise part of my life do three or two different activities per day like go to basketball practices, do stuff in home and school , now with the internship you most to distribute you time as well because you have project to do and I wouldn't lost grades, the only bad thing about Internship is you need stop something to do you things on time, in my case I do not have time to go to basketball practices again so is bad but you have to choose and complete everything .

.You have FIVE WEEKS of internship left. What are two goals do you hope to accomplish during the remaining weeks? These goals could include knowledge you hope to gain or skills you hope to learn.

Well I hope learn more about medicine and get better with My English as well, and do different task during my Internshipan have more network conections.

What new things have you learned about New York City as a result of being "out and about"?
When you have a new life in this city always new experiences come up to you .This experiences with the internship for example let me now one of important things of the life is make good decisions, and help people is a good thing learn a new language and get more expectations.

This are a good example about my internship, The mission of an Physical Therapist is help a patient to get a physical motor functions. And help people to through exercises can walk and can do normal activities.
