On Wednesday, December 7th, I will be job shadowing Lynda Brown at Advantage Rehab. Lynda Brown is a physical therapist there. She also has an office in Cody. I will be arriving at 8:00a.m. because she arrives at 7:00a.m. and her assistant said to treat it like a regualr school day. I will be leaving around 3 p.m. She can work as late as 6 p.m. depending on her patients that day. I will be getting lunch off for an hour, which she also does. Her assistant also told me to wear casual clothes, like jeans would be fine. I will still wear cacky pants though because they fit like jeans, but will be more professional to wear that day. I hope to learn about if they go through the same routine daily and it gets kind of boring or if the days change up because different patients have different priorities.
To become a physical therapist you must gain a bacholars degree then gain a two year program for a physical therapy license.they work with disabled patients who have a physical disability or have been injured and help them recover with physical therapy and exercises. Physical therapist usually work for a hospital, rehab center, or open a private business. They can be paid from $65000-$75000. They work wherever there are people. I'm interested in becoming one because I like helping people, interested in anatomy and injuries but without all the blood. Im really excited to work with lynda because I've known her for some personnel physical therapy and family friend, and seeing if this could be my dream job.
