Regarding my mentorship...
Career Path
If I was interested in following in the footsteps of my mentor and becoming a physical therapist, I would first need to look at colleges. Colleges like UNG are good for this career because they have a physical therapy program, but I could also go to UGA and major in Kinesiology or Sports Medicine, and then transfer to a college with a PT program. My mentor did that because he went to Georgia Southern and then transferred to UNG for his doctorate in physical therapy.
Workload:
At my mentorship the workload is pretty even between the three physical therapists, although it really depends on the day. The receptionist tries to divide patients up evenly between the three of them, but sometimes patients want a specific therapist. The hand therapist, on the other hand(pun!), is relatively new to the company, so she doesn't have as many patients as the others.
Tasks:
At my mentorship, I do things from helping patients with their exercises to cleaning tables. The more, fun or interesting tasks include: watching my mentor work with patients, helping patients with stretches, etc. The less exciting tasks would be: doing laundry, cleaning tables, organizing files, etc. While those tasks are not the most enjoyable, they help prepare me for the real world, and get me ready for what I'll have to do in order to get a job I'm more passionate about.
