Clinical Internships
Launch Your Career & Change Lives
We see sound clinical education as both our professional responsibility and our opportunity to give back by helping students become passionate and capable therapists.
Our goal is to inspire our student therapists to become experts in working with seniors, helping them to:
- Maintain their independence
- Stay safely in their homes
- Live with dignity and purpose
EmpowerMe has affiliations with numerous colleges and universities to help develop student therapists into superior senior healthcare practitioners. We offer clinical internships for PT, PTA, OT, OTA, and SLP in many EmpowerMe communities across the country.
In addition, our clinical and operational mentoring support for newly graduated therapists is second to none. Having a talented and dedicated personal mentor helps new therapists assimilate quickly and accelerates their development.

Therapists also experience less documentation work.
