“Interning at the Neuro-Fit program with SLI has been an absolute delight, and I feel so very fortunate to have had this opportunity. As an exercise science student, the opportunity and prospect of exercising alongside others is always exciting to me, but this experience has been so much more than delivering exercise prescriptions and ensuring their proper execution. My time with the Neuro-Fit program with SLI has demonstrated to me the multimodal and integral role exercise and movement plays in life. “
– Emily, Exercise Science major at Simmons University

“This internship has changed the way I act and perceive life for the better. I learned what it takes to be patient and persuasive. Working with brain injury survivors requires these aspects more than anything I have encountered in the past, and working on improving these qualities has made me a stronger person.”

– Henry, majoring in Health Sciences at Northeastern University

“Working closely with three different residents gave me a huge amount of inspiration. To see them push through and break down boundaries while exercising was an amazing experience. Although each person had some kind of limit, no one ever let that stop them and this proved a lot to me. It was truly encouraging.”

– Brooke, a Psychology major at Franklin Pierce University

“Nearly every skill and experience I had at SLI is transferable to my success in OT school. I could tell immediately upon starting the OTD program that I was a few steps ahead of my classmates who had less hands-on experience.”

Neuro-Fit Alumni Mentor Network

We designed the Neuro-Fit’s mentorship program to enrich the internship experience for previous, current, and prospective interns. By connecting with previous interns who are now furthering their education or pursuing careers in their field of interest, interns gain valuable insight and guidance to shape their own professional journey. 

Current interns have the unique opportunity to engage in meaningful conversations with past interns who share their passions and aspirations. They can ask questions, seek advice, and gain firsthand knowledge about how the internship experience influenced their career path. The mentorship program serves as an excellent resource for interns navigating their career path, applying to graduate school, and staying connected with SLI. By fostering these connections, interns build lasting relationships, access valuable resources, and pave the way for success in their chosen fields. 

A large majority of students that intern our Neuro-Fit program continue their education following their undergraduate degree. Neuro-Fit Alumni have completed degrees in nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and more.
