I am currently finishing up my first semester of PT school. I am definitely learning a ton, as far as anatomy, kines, manual muscle testing, ROM testing, gait training, transfers, etc but I really feel that to have the information more cemented into my brain, that I should be doing it more often, and to real patients.
I was thinking that having a job as an aide, even 1 day a week, would be a huge supplementary advantage.
Has anyone else worked as an aide during PT school? I was also thinking of finding a clinic that would allow me to shadow once a week or something.
Opinions?
