Opportunities for Students and Volunteers

Opportunities for Students of Physical, Occupational, or Speech Therapy

Clinical Affiliations: A clinical affiliation at the Center for Pediatric Therapies provides students with the opportunity to gain hand-on, on-site experience through clinical rotations or internships. The length of the clinical affiliation is agreed upon between the student’s education program and the Center for Pediatric Therapies. Eligible students must be enrolled in a higher education program for physical, occupational, or speech therapy.  Also, the student’s education program must have a current, formal clinical affiliation agreement. To find out if we have a clinical affiliation with your therapy education program, contact Kristen Barker via email kbarker@centerforpediatrictherapies.com or phone at 434.797.5531.
