  • For Mariah Anderson, a spring semester internship brought hands-on experience in physical therapy and affirmed her sense of calling to the field.   As a senior exercise science major, Mariah spent her internship with @healingmotionpt working alongside professionals like Dr. Michelle, where she observed patient care firsthand, learned to evaluate injuries, and saw how trust and empathy are vital to the healing process.   Reflecting on her experience, Mariah stated she loved the atmosphere and that her experiences helped her grow in confidence and build technical and interpersonal skills. Her time working with a variety of patients prepared her for a future of meaningful service in health care with not just athletes, but people from all walks of life.   To fellow students considering an internship, Mariah offered this advice: “Even if it doesn’t directly apply to what your major is, do the internship. You’re getting real-world experience, and those social skills are incredibly valuable.”   Great work, Mariah! Watch the Q&A on our YouTube! Read the full article on our website!
