Suitable for students and recent graduates at various levels of relevant Medical/Healthcare studies. First year undergraduate students are eligible, provided that their studies have commenced. Interns will be required to submit academic transcripts and a letter of recommendation from their university.
 
Interns must come prepared to shadow, observe and assist, according to patient needs and dynamic priorities. Placements can include non-profit health centers for the disabled, childcare facilities and specialist care facilities. Individual internships experiences vary, as the specific placement that you’re assigned will depend on review of your resume and your current level of studies and experience. Practical activities are related to assistance to supervisors with patient care and evaluation, rehabilitation planning, and physiotherapy treatment sessions. The common mission is focused on improving quality of life and self-esteem, while assisting clients to enhance skills, mobility and independence.

Occupational & Physical Therapy interns have the opportunity to develop broader cultural intelligence and communication skills, which are essential for this field of healthcare. Come prepared to encounter a different healthcare system than what you may be used to within your home country. You may find some placements to be comparatively under-resourced and under-funded. Nevertheless, interns are expected to remain professional and compassionate at all times.

In all cases, interns should expect that the first week of your experience will focus on settling in and gaining some introductory knowledge, as you will not “hit the ground running”. Rather, you should start with learning about the placement to gain an understanding of what you can build upon, develop, learn, and contribute. Ensure that you ask questions and provide feedback during the introductory period, so that your supervisor understands how you’re progressing. This will help them to better understand important details, such as how quickly you learn, what you find challenging, what you find interesting, etc.

Understand and expect that individual internships experiences vary, as the specific placement that you’re assigned will depend on review of your resume and your current level of studies and experience. Therefore, if you’re at a more introductory level, you should reasonably expect a more introductory internship. Likewise, if you’re interning for a shorter duration, you will have a different experience from someone who is interning for a longer duration. Placement preferences are considered but always subject to availability.

Supervision can at times be handled by a range of local staff members, who are in the best position to provide guidance, direction, and answer questions pertaining to duties and responsibilities. Note that interns should expect that an Arabic language barrier can be encountered to a certain extent. We encourage all interns to take advantage of affordable language lessons, which can be taken in conjunction with the internship.
