March 2024

OVERVIEW

This work immersion provides students with practical experience in a real work environment related to their future career or
field of study. It aims to bridge the gap between classroom learning and work demands by enabling students to apply theoretical
knowledge to real-life situations. Additionally, work immersion helps students develop important skills such as teamwork,
communication, problem-solving, and adaptability. This allows students to explore different career paths, gain insight into the industry,
and make informed decisions about their future career goals. Work immersion is important in preparing students to transition from
education to work.

SPECIFICATIONS

real-world practice of physical therapy under the supervision of licensed professionals. This immersive learning experience allows

competencies.
