I graduated from the University of Illinois a BS in Liberal Arts and Sciences (chemistry major) in May 2006. Have been working as a chemist in lab since August 2006. Plan on taking GRE by the end of the year and may have to retake some prerequisites to boost GPA. Any help that can be provided is much appreciated.

I was hoping I could obtain some volunteer experience in physical therapy before I start doing it on a per diem basis.

The woman who coordinates the rotations just put me on everything for a week just so i can choose which one I’d like to do for the whole summer. Today- I did ECU (Extended Care Unit) and Menus…and
Wednesday I’ll be volunteering in the Physical Therapy/Rehab Therapy unit, and i was wondering what exactly I’ll be doing there as a volunteer?
