Daniel Corado graduated Summer 2026 with his degree in Kinesiology with a concentration in Clinical Exercise Science. This Summer he worked as a Physical Therapy/Clinical Intern at CHI St. Joseph.

When asked if he had any advice for Bearkats in the same field as him, he said:

"If you're a Bearkat looking to get into physical therapy, my biggest piece of advice is to jump into student clubs, campus events, and networking opportunities...Beyond campus, my top takeaway for anyone in an internship is to drop the fear of judgment and just ask questions...if you're holding back from asking how something works or why a treatment is done a certain way...you're missing out on the core point of being there. Taking that initiative, staying curious, and speaking up is what turns a routine clinical requirement into an experience that actually builds your confidence for graduate school and beyond."

Congratulations Daniel, and good luck on your future endeavors!
