This series spotlights junior and senior interns who leave the traditional classroom for one or more class period a day and learn what life will be like once they hit the work force. Look for more Holyoke Tuesday Intern Spotlights each Tuesday at Noon.
Meet Max Kleve
Internship | Max spends two hours a day at the Physical Therapy Department at Melissa Memorial Hospital. |
What have | "I have bought clothes which are appropriate in a professional setting to change into. I do this in order to make myself seem more professional and presentable for patients. I have to maintain HIPPA and not share anything specific that I do at my internship. Which is a form of being professional. Also, I have to maintain composures in order to keep a professional attitude, which allows me to be successful, maintain good communication with my supervisor Scott, in letting him know if a am not going to be present at my internship." |
Career | "I have learned a lot about being a physical therapist. I have [learned how] physical therapists deal with pain management more and less with injury recovery. This is interesting to me and may change my mind about becoming a physical therapist. It might also help me decide if I want to be a sports therapist specifically." |
A huge thank you to Melissa Memorial Hospital for allowing this partnership to happen and our students to learn and grow.
