Good morning. Here I am, on the last day of my last internship inPortland,OR. I’m organizing all the finishing touches of the paperwork, and lucky me, I notice on my schedule my last patient will be a new evaluation.

Another month has come and gone. Yes, it is still raining here in Portland. No, I have not yet hit clinical depression. . . . yet . With my Clinical Instructor having her baby last week, I’m sort of bouncing between 2 therapists. It has been nice in the sense of I have been given [...]

The first month of this last clinical internship has come and gone. From day 1, I was put to use. It has been a little more difficult at my site because all documentation is done on the computer, so I’m trying to get used to all the ins and outs of the system; it’s getting [...]

This 3rd rotation is just about over. I’ve been here 9 weeks with just 3 more to go. It has felt more like a job than anything; I have my own patient case load; I do all the documentation and initial evaluations; for the most part, I stay pretty busy at the clinic. Now if [...]

Life is good. Clinical is going great. I have my own patients. I do my own evaluations. A lot less observation of my CI. As a matter of fact, I hear more of “That sounds good to me” versus what I would hear a lot more during the 1st 2 clinical experiences of “Now let’s [...]

Last days of our Break As the 24th of August approached, we tried to do as much as we could before another hectic semester began. Here are a few pictures showing how we spent our time. From Sunday afternoon (the 23rd) until about 10:30 PM, I got emails, a few texts (thank you Rob), and [...]
