Those applications are sent out in January of each year, due by March 1 of the same year, and students are interviewed and selected by the end of April. This job posting is for those selected students to complete onboarding as a new EXOS team member. If you are not one of these pre-selected interns, you will need to go through the application process through your physical therapy program’s clinical education team.
