WBL Internship: Physical Therapy At Mountain View Therapy
WBL Internship: Physical Therapy At Mountain View Therapy
The Colorado Department of Education defines "Professional" using the following descriptors:
time & work management
career literacy
grit and resilience
work ethic; dependable and reliable
After spending a great deal of time at my internship, I think that being professional at my site includes, having a hard work ethic, being very friendly and communicative, staying on task, and being a good problem solving. a great example of this is when you have a difficult patient and you need to be friendly with them, stay on task and not get frustrated, and problem solve in order to help them.
