All About BAHS Internships
Erika Lebron, health sciences pre-physical therapy major, enjoys a break during her internship at St. Luke's Universty Health Network -Northampton Campus. |
Here is what some of our summer interns had to say about their experience.
"This rewarding
experience gave me the opportunity to learn from licensed technologists whom I
aspire to be one day. I was fortunate to practice working in a hospital
environment, and learning so many techniques and tips about my future
career. The Bloomsburg hospital had an amazing staff, and I am thankful to
attend a college that allows students to gain these opportunities."

" I completed my
internship at Phoenix Rehabilitation and Health Services I learned much while I
was there, and was able to utilize the medical vocabulary that I learned in
class to be more efficient at the facility. One of the most important things I
Learned while interning at Phoenix was that the relationship between patient
and therapist is crucial. I also became more familiar with different
muscle groups and what exercises they needed to regain range of motion
and/or build up strength."
Anthony DiLucido, health sciences, pre-physical therapy major. Academic supervisor: Dr. Coleman
"Securing an internship at Star Physical Therapy and Fitness afforded me the
opportunity to obtain valuable knowledge on the most effective techniques and
treatments on a wide range of debilitating injuries. Being able to
observe under a Clinical Vestibular Specialist is rare, and I was fortunate
enough to witness the common treatments for nystagmus and Benign Paroxysmal
Positional Vertigo".

"I
was at Geisinger Medical Center for the Medical Imaging internship. Throughout
this internship I not only learned that Medical Imaging is a career I will
thrive in and enjoy each day, but also how rewarding it is to help patients in
their recovery. The scientific advances in healthcare I was able to observe were astounding."
Olivia Zeitler, medical imaging major. Academic supervisor: Dr. Barry Nolt
"This
summer I interned at the St. Luke's Hospital-Allentown Campus in the
outpatient physical therapy department. I had the opportunity to interact
with many patients that had varying injuries from sprains to total knee
replacements. I learned many techniques and exercises that will help me
on my journey to becoming a successful Physical Therapist."
