Daily Routine
My responsibilities as and intern for Main Line Health Rehabilitation Affiliates included not only observing and helping out the physical therapists, but also completing some business aspect duties. This includes billing the patients, scheduling patients, faxing evaluations to doctors, calling insurances to check benefits, and registering new patients into the system. I was also responsible to set up patients for the therapists by either applying heat or ice to them or setting them up on a piece of equipment for their warm-up exercises. When the gym was not busy, I would sanitize the equipment, organize the gym, and refill any linens that were getting low. The therapists would also let me help guide patients while they performed their exercises. Lastly, I observed the physical therapists work with each patients and I was able to ask questions whenever there was uncertainty. |
