Student Opportunities

Clinical Internships

If you're interested in a challenging clinical internship where you can foster your neuro learning and development, we encourage you to consider On With Life. On With Life offers unpaid clinical internships through our post-acute inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation programs, giving students the opportunity to work with individuals who have experienced a brain injury, spinal cord injury, stroke, concussion, Parkinson's disease, or other complex neurological diagnosis. 

On With Life offers clinical internship opportunities for post-graduate students from accredited programs in physical therapy, occupational therapy, music therapy, recreation therapy and speech-language pathology. We look for students who demonstrate strong clinical and critical thinking skills, as well as a passion for neuro rehabilitation. This intensive, specialty internship is designed as one of the final internships before graduation, and we prefer to take students who have completed all classwork. We also require an active site affiliation with your school, and discipline-specific interviews and essays may be required. Your placement in either our inpatient or outpatient program will be decided closer to the clinical time. 

If you are interested in pursuing a clinical internship at On With Life, please have your academic coordinator or fieldwork coordinator contact Kim Reed, clinical coordinator, at kim.reed@onwithlife.org or (515) 289-9600 ext 215.

Student Observations 

Interested in neuro rehabilitation and want to learn more about possible career paths? On With Life offers observation opportunities for students who are passionate about a future in this field at our Ankeny, Polk City and Coralville locations. We limit the number of students in each building at one time to ensure quality interactions and experiences, and one-week time slots are available on a first-come, first-serve based on therapist availability.
