I have been volunteering/shadowing at the Rehab Institute of Chicago for almost a year now and each area requires 100hrs of volunteering on each floor before you can move onto another. So far I have done 3 floors (pediatrics, orthotics/prosthetics, and neuro/stroke) all inpatient. This summer I plan to volunteer in another setting, possibly outpatient research or TBI, and next fall I have an internship there doing one other setting I'm not sure of yet. When I apply this summer would I have to list these all as "Rehabilitation" or would I list them as "Other" and specify? Each floor I volunteered on were at separate times with separate OTs.
I have also shadowed in other settings including hand therapy, school, & assisted living. This summer I am set up to observe in an outpatient pediatrics facility, hippotherapy, and acute hospital
