Most PT schools have a certain amount of clinical hours required for admission. They want to know that their students are very familiar with the roles and responsibilities after graduating from school. Highlight your strong observational skills and how your clinical experience will help you later.

"When I decided that PT was the career for me, I started volunteering at a rehabilitation clinic. This experience was invaluable. I was able to see every side of the process by shadowing the PTs that work there and observing their workflow. It also exposed me to the patient-side of PT that happens once you graduate. Many different people used this clinic, and I gained exposure working with different personalities and backgrounds."
