I was wondering how everyone found there internship. Is there any tips for looking for one. By the way I am looking into a strengh and conditioning coach or nutrtionist. I live in Connecticut as well. Any ideas, I would like to work hands on, I know you have to start from the bottom and work your way up. But I would really like an internship that I can get a real grasp of what my real job is gonna be like. I dont want to work in a hospital or at the front desk of a gym.

I would think your university would have hookups to most of the practitioners in the area for internships - esp. if they are requiring one for your program.
I'm in the same boat right now. I asked my university and didn't get any help on internships, except I was told if I really wanted to I could volunteer in their performance labs in the summer. I'm not sure how much I even believe that but its my worse case scenario right now.

I commute from the Hartford area to Fairfield County every day. It takes 90 minutes on average, and that's with rush hour traffic. It would probably be closer to 1 hr going the other way, opposite the traffic.
Barrett, it might be worth it for the practical experience, especially if there are no other opportunities closer to you.
John, I didn't even notice you were from Hartford...cool!

Barret: You're a bit far for me (in Hartford), but I do have a freind in Shelton that may be able to help.
Erik: You are not that far...if you are looking before summer, let me know.
I certainly appreciate that a great deal. It's tough while I'm in school till end of April/early May but I am always interested in some side work/experience while I'm there. I go to UCONN, which isn't too far from Hartford either.
Thanks alot John, do you think you could give me the contact info of your friend in Shelton??

You're all too far from me, but I take interns from many of our universities here in Arkansas; UALR, UCA, ASU and U of A. My faves come from UCA, who has an EXCELLENT ex phys program, and one of the top PT schools in the US.
