\"\"<\/a>Cameron Jadali, senior Exercise Science major\/pre-PT, completed his field experience this summer at Global Therapy Group, a non-profit group in Port-au-Prince, Haiti.\u00a0 Here is what Cameron had to say about his experience:<\/p>\n

“I found out about Global Therapy Group through my mother, an occupational therapist of 20+ years. She was contacted by a past co-worker who was one of the founding members of Global Therapy Group. I was asked if I wanted to be a part of the team and couldn’t turn down an opportunity like this. My main duties at the Haitian clinic included, manual stimulation of muscles, application of pain\u00a0relieving\u00a0electronic stimulation, providing long term exercise prescriptions, cleaning supplies, giving\u00a0therapeutic massages, and recording patient data. My work experience as a certified personal trainer of 2 years and knowledge learned in Exercise Science courses aided me with my work. I think this experience was so different\u00a0from\u00a0many of the other Exercise Science\u00a0students\u00a0and so special for me because I got to engage in hands on work. During all of my physical therapy observations hours in the U.S., laws prohibit non\u00a0licensed physical therapists from touching the patients\u00a0and thus makes observation hours somewhat repetitive and boring. This trip to Haiti let me interact with patients in a way not possible in may other settings. My\u00a0experience\u00a0has\u00a0strengthened\u00a0my resolve to be a physical therapist and will help me in my future\u00a0endeavors. Below is a link to Global Therapy Group’s website. I would strongly\u00a0recommend\u00a0this experience to anyone interested in Physical\/Occupational therapy.” – Cameron Jadali<\/p>\n
