From Intern To Employee - The Employee's View
Recently we heard from one of our Program Directors on how they feel about the clinical education program and how those student interns make fantastic candidates for employment. After speaking with our Program Director, I also asked the same questions of one such person
Mitch is a recent graduate from Ohio State University. He also completed a final clinical rotation at CaroMont Rehab in Gastonia, NC. He had this to say on his clinical experience with RehabCare:
"What stands out most in my mind was the very positive atmosphere throughout the clinical experience, and the very nice facility. I received good guidance from my CI(clinical instructor). She did a great job of allowing me to work on my own, but was still there whenever I had questions or needed help with a patient. What I liked most was her allowing me to act independently and not needing to watch all of my interaction with patients, which I feel gave me more confidence in dealing with them(patients)."
I also asked him what the deciding factors were in his decision to come on board with RehabCare once his clinical rotation was over:
"I really enjoyed my clinical experience. I chose to continue on because of the good atmosphere at the clinic, the competitive salary and benefits and the right geographic location."
Congratulations on your graduation, Mitch and for helping to show RehabCare's dedication to clinical education! If you are a student and interested in learning more about a RehabCare building near you for your next fieldwork affiliation, contact one of our Campus Relations Managers.
