How do I get volunteer or paid physical therapy experience?
If you are completing your undergraduate degree, check on internship opportunities through you school. If you know a physical therapist, ask her/him if you can “shadow” for a short period of time. Call physical therapy departments or volunteer offices in a variety of practice settings and offer your services. Physical therapy practice settings include tertiary care hospitals, community hospitals, visiting nurse associations, nursing homes, retirement communities, private practices, and sports medicine facilities.
