I worked in the WSIB specialty clinic with an emphasis on a multidisciplinary approach to client care. I directly worked with kinesiologists, occupational therapists, and surgeons to deliver quality client care. I treated using the biopsychosocial model with every client, understanding the range of factors that can contribute to injury and prognosis in order to deliver optimal recovery.

During this 5-week split placement with Toronto Rehab, I've conducted comprehensive holistic assessments and provided physiotherapy management for patients diagnosed with cancer. The primary conditions I assessed and managed were lymphedema, cording, general deconditioning, and general MSK conditions associated with cancer (ex. myofascial tightness, frozen shoulder). I have gained significant experience with motivational interviewing as this skill is valuable and important when providing consultation and conducting comprehensive assessments. I have also supervised CaRE-AC @ ELLISCR, which is a group-based exercise and education program for individuals diagnosed with advanced cancer. Important outcome measures I have utilized and become familiar with are the DART (ESAS-r), GODIN, and WHODAS.As this placement was split with Toronto Rehab, my roles between the two areas of practice differed considerably and I was also using two completely different charting systems. Skills developed through this process were adapting quickly to different environments and learning in a fast-paced environment.

During this 5-week split placement with Princess Margaret, I have provided outpatient rehabilitation for a variety of MSK conditions such as knee fractures, total knee arthroplasty, total hip arthroplasty, POEMS, frozen shoulder, general deconditioning, and myofascial tightness (associated with cancer treatment). I have performed initials, progress, and discharge assessments and have gained significant experience with exercise prescription and treatment progression. Additionally, I've become experienced with several types of PT treatment strategies such as myofascial stretching, PNF, and manual therapy (mobilization).

During this 5-week placement, I provided inpatient rehabilitation primarily for the stroke population, but also for patients with other neurological conditions (i.e. acquired brain injuries). The primary technique I utilized was the NDT approach. Throughout this placement, I conducted a large number of initial, progress, and discharge assessments. I have gained significant experience in exercise prescription and exercise progression. I have also become proficient with the use of certain outcome measures, such as the BERG and CMSA.

In this 5-week placement as part of my Master's degree, I worked in acute inpatient, providing cardiorespiratory physiotherapy for patients in the post-cardiovascular surgery unit. I primarily worked in the cardiovascular ward, but have some experience in cardiac ICU. I've developed significant experience with transfers, auscultation, oxygen titration, and manual breathing techniques (i.e. percussions, vibrations, rib springs). Importantly, I've gained significant experience with discharge planning, working under pressure, and online charting.

During this 1-year undergraduate science internship that was done between my 3rd and 4th year, I conducted research looking at the effects of cold stress on genetically modified soybeans and arabidopsis. In this internship, I worked well under minimal supervision but also collaborated with multiple research scientists and graduate students. I have conducted multiple experiments, including but not limited to DNAseq, qPCR, RT-PCR, RNA extractions, DNA extractions, PCR, gel electrophoresis, cloning and transformation experiments. Moreover, I performed Next-Generation sequencing on DNA libraries using the Illumina MiSeq Sequencer.The transferable skills I have gained in this internship are learning in a fast-paced environment and time management.

My primary roles in this part-time job were assisting with histological preparations by slicing sections of rat brains and embedding the sections on glass slides for analysis. Additionally, I conducted Cresyl Violet staining experiments for histological analysis of particular brain regions.
