Unlike the more common “shadowing” opportunities, Pro Function’s Internship Program is far more than just following a clinician around the office and wiping down tables.

With a total of 2 internships offered each year, successful candidates will be expected to, and have the opportunity to:

• Shadow no less than 3-5 health care professionals from various disciplines including Physiotherapy, Chiropractic care, Massage Therapy, Pedorthics, Osteopathy, Naturopathic Medicine and others.
• Spend assigned time with our patient care team where you will learn the importance of running a smooth front desk and some of the details behind private practice business management.
• Acquire and grow your fundamental knowledge about pathology, subjective and objective testing, diagnosis formulation and treatment techniques.
• Ask questions, be questioned, be assigned “homework” in the form of small review or “look-up” tasks and submit to the odd, but non-graded, more fun-focused “pop-quiz”.
• Complete a small but clinically meaningful research assignment to share with your Pro Function colleagues. 
• Acquire and demonstrate growth and confidence with all aspects of a positive patient experience, including greeting patients, listening, communication, understanding goals of treatment, learning interventions to treatment, planning follow-up sessions and assisting in the maintenance, upkeep and cleanliness of a treatment environment. 
• Demonstrate and be exposed to the same rigors and expectations that a candidate will face if they choose to pursue a career in health care and go on to do a post-graduate curriculum..   

The Pro Function Internship program is a non-paid internship and candidates must be willing to commit 6-8 hours of availability each week over the 8-week program. Additionally, candidates must have access to transportation given that the program operates between both downtown London at Pro Function Health Care Team and its south London sports injury clinic.
