As a physiotherapy student in an outpatient department, we would see patients for their MSK, neuro or cardiacpulmonary issues. We would also run MSK classes a few times a week
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Although at first there weren't many patients with a lot of Physiotherapist there, eventually they let me be fully independent
