It should be comprehensive and highly detailed as this represents 30% of your grade. This topic should expand on the concepts learned in the internship. For example, writing about experiences working with older geriatric clients in a physical therapy setting and discussing a common medical co-morbidity such as hypertension and subsequent physical therapy management of said condition. You should be including outside research in these projects and compare and contrast your experiences with what the literature says. Did your site manage a hypertensive client similarly according to what the literature says?
