Your fieldwork/affiliation is where you gain the competence and confidence, you’ll need to be a successful entry-level practitioner. As a teaching hospital, we’re committed to preparing tomorrow’s therapists for the growing demands of the field.
Range of Settings and Specialties
Our rehab programs span the complete spectrum of care, including acute, inpatient rehab and outpatient. Students also experience a variety of cases, such as neurological, orthopedic, cardiac and general debility. While students are placed in a specific area for their affiliation, we offer several opportunities to observe other settings.
Mentoring and Supervision
Working one-on-one with your supervisor, you’ll become familiar with diagnoses, evaluation tools and treatment techniques in your setting. As you gain confidence, you’ll gradually take on a caseload to perform evaluations, treatments and discharge recommendations.
Team Approach
At Sinai, we value an interdisciplinary approach to patient care. Our students take part in care meetings and collaborate with doctors, residents, nurses, social workers and other therapists.
