IFSI accepts student interns from either physical therapy or physical therapy assistance schools providing they are from a nationally accredited program. We have a limited enrollment due to the type of facility we have and the number of staff members who are eligible to be clinical instructors. We are willing to contract our facility with any school providing the time of the internship is available. IFSI specialty is orthopedics, sports rehabilitation and athletic performance. Being such a specialty the students must a good foundation in anatomy and physiology and therapeutic exercise. We also expect the student to have the desire to learn, teach and the willingness to go above and beyond to serve and respect the patients who value IFSI. We require our students to treat our facility like their own, having the passion for the field of physical therapy, have empathy for the patients we see to overcome their fears and give quality care so that optimum outcomes can be achieved. The expectations from the students are high and IFSI accepts the same. We are a fun and family oriented facility that works as a team and would expect the students to do the same. We have policies and procedures that need to be complied with as any employee does. Your experience will be one that is very interactive with responsibilities that supersede the required course work. We feel much knowledge will be given to you as a student, so we need to be compensated for your hard work in return. You may be a student because you’re in school but you are expected to act like a professional clinician while your are treating our patients. Like anything in life, what you put into it, is what you will get out of it. Your mind needs to be like a parachute; for this will allow you to have the utmost experience you can get as a student which will forever be impressionable as a clinician. |
