Lauren O'Donohue, Physiotherapist
My Future
Explore the profession
Do what you can to make sure you're familiar with the profession. Really put some thought into whether you'd like to pursue physiotherapy as a career.
Hospitals and some private practice clinics have opportunities to job shadow. You can watch the physios working and get an idea of a typical day. Some hospitals allow for volunteers to come in and help with activities of the clinic or physiotherapy department other than direct patient care. When I was in high school I volunteered at a personal care home working with the Rehabilitation Assistant.
