UF Health Sports Performance Center: PM&R
In the UF Health Sports Performance Center, each day and week are different. Interns may help perform gait tests, perform metabolic tests and enter data one day, and may participate in two running gait analyses with patients or clients the next. Other days may involve a lactate threshold test in a competitive cyclist and motion analysis of a pediatric patient in the afternoon. Interns will be exposed to people of all ages and interests and this provides variety in the experience each year. We expect that during quiet times, interns will be engaged in reading scientific literature, assisting the Senior Engineer with processing data for sport related tests and projects or working their own small publication.
