A Week in the Life of a Paid Intern at Longevity – Ascot Vale, Victoria
Hi! My name is Sevannah and I’ve just wrapped up the 8th week of my part-time internship at Longevity Ascot Vale in Victoria. This week I’ve learnt so much about the type of EP I want to be.
This week I started having more responsibility with taking clients instead of shadowing. I was able to use my own clinical judgement and make decisions about how to appropriately prescribe or adjust programs for the clients based on their presentations.
While I was being supervised, this opportunity allowed me to make mistakes and learn from them, build one-on-one rapport with clients and also continue practicing my clinical skills. Through this, I was able to gain feedback from supervisors about what I did well and how to improve for the next session. With this immediate feedback, I could implement this for the next client if appropriate which made the client’s experience and my service even better.
I am also continually learning how to adapt my communication style to differing personalities, which is always a challenge for any person. Having the opportunity to learn how to change my language or tone for certain people has reminded me how important this skill is to enhance a client’s experience while getting the best outcome for them.
Can’t wait to see what’s in store for me next week!
