Designed to highlight physical and occupational therapy career options, students will have the opportunity to participate in therapy-driven exercises to gain an understanding of the role therapists have in helping patients regain independence after a stroke, injury, illness or surgery. In addition to hands-on demonstrations of balance trainings, rehabilitation professionals will also demonstrate therapeutic modalities used to allow participants to gather knowledge of the wide range of techniques used in rehabilitation.
The Exploring™ Program is designed to provide positive and meaningful real-world experiences and leadership development opportunities for students in their chosen field(s) of interest. By becoming a program participant, students will be able to make informed decisions about future careers and determine if a particular healthcare career is right for them. As an explorer, students will, participate in hands-on experiences, network with healthcare professionals, learn about the latest technology in health care, learn about educational requirements needed and practice leadership skills.
