"Participating in ASU's internship program proved to be a valuable experience for me. It provided insight into the day-to-day responsibilities of a physical therapist, exposing me to a wide range of complex conditions, surgeries, and injuries. I honed my communication skills with patients of all ages, learning to effectively interact and empathize with their needs. Additionally, I developed the habit of taking detailed notes during patient interactions, allowing me to reflect on my experiences and delve deeper into unfamiliar conditions or treatment interventions. I highly recommend internships to other students considering a career in physical therapy or a related field."
