Abigail en A. Parkinson 
I have been observing and assisting with different forms of therapy (physical therapy, cognitive therapy, speech therapy, etc.) and with intake interviews for new patients. I have also been conducting research on non-pharmacological treatments for Parkinson’s Disease. I would absolutely recommend this internship, as the work is super engaging and dynamic and the people who work there are SO wonderful! Abigail Pomeranz, Tufts. Spring 2021
I have learned how to synthesize information for an ongoing project. I have observed how a therapist communicates with their members. I have been blessed to learn about the structures of health care that take place in Europe. Daniela German, Skidmore. Spring 2020

Con su supervisora Susana 
On the whole, I am incredibly grateful to have been able to work with Parkinson’s Disease patients like my Papa. I feel that I was able to contribute to the work of the Parkinson’s Association both through research and also at the Centro de Día. I had a global intercultural experience at the Parkinson’s Association Internship. I was able to communicate with Spanish staff members and patients and contribute to the Association’s mission. I worked with the Parkinson’s Association on a research project for the Horizon 2020 project, and I learned valuable research and interpersonal skills that I will bring with me into future endeavors.
